A Date With The BFF

As I was having a day break from college yesterday, I went meeting up and have some shopping with my best friend, Ewen, who was also on her off day.(Thanks for spending your precious break time from work hanging out with me!) We haven't hangout for a couple of months already so we thought of meeting up more before she leaves to Taiwan for her further studies as it'll definitely be very difficult for us to meetup like this by then. :(

Since that we're going to Gurney Plaza for shopping & to watch the movie of "Poltergeist", we also took the opportunity to try out soft serve ice-cream from Honey Creme, which is the latest dessert franchise that went trendy as soon as it opened its first outlet in Malaysia, and the lucky thing is that the first outlet is opened at Penang. Yay! :D

Back to the Blogging Life

*Levi Kaichou-mode: ON*

After being missing in action (MIA) on blogging for nearly one & a half month, I could finally get back blogging again! Yeah! :D

The summer exam had ended last Tuesday but I barely have time to blog because I've been rushing on those props and accesorries for my cosplay for Penang Anime Matsuri(PAM). This post would be kind of a random update (or to be accurate, an update to indicate that the blog isn't dead LOL) as I'm still editing photos and videos for those upcoming posts. 

 I should be continuing to edit the photos to get the posts up here as soon as possible, so that should be all by now. Jya-ne _(:3 J

I Just Lost A Friend

 "Dogs are a man's best friend." and I just lost one. 

After more than 8 years being with us, Bonnie has left, because of our negligence and cause her ran out of her cage and bitten to death. I couldn't say anything but "Sorry". There's no use for me to kept on repeating the "If only" scenarios, I'd never expected that Ember (another pet dog of ours which is a Rottweiler) would bit her so hard and cause her to bleed so much. The wound was too severe and we can't do anything about it already, if not, we would probably try to call a vet or even rush to the nearby veterinary clinic. When looking her bleeding, it makes me pain in the heart, I couldn't do anything but watching her until her last moment.  

Thanks for being an amazing family member for those previous years.
This blog post would be a memorial for you. R.I.P Bonnie and ILY.

Kotori Minami Photoshoot

So............. the thing is that I'm procrastinating again from doing revisions despite that it's 27 days to go till summer exams. /guilty-faced/ OTL

I did mentioned in my blog entry on the early of the year that I'd my first photoshoot for my cosplay and the full album was released already, just that I've kept on delaying and didn't spare the time to get it update on here.

I won't update all the photos here otherwise it'll be a picture-heavy post, so I picked up a few from those which I personally prefers.

The Early Twenty

*blows off the dust*

It's been a few weeks (again) since my previous blog entry, my everyday routines are almost the same with endless of revision materials for the coming summer session exam. My revision process is just like: Procrastinate. Panice. Revise. Cry deeply. (You know you're a law student when you have that sheer amount of readings to do.) OTL

Putting aside the schedule reading, I just went for a early-birthday celebration with my best friend. 

Our initial plan was to go to a cafe for the celebration like how we did last year and Ewen came up with another idea of going for Korean cuisine restaurant instead of the cafe. After so much of dilemmas and hesitant on choosing, we ultimately decided to go for Korean cuisine which is located in a shopping mall(So that we can go shopping as well LOL)

Just Another Random Post

I feel like blogging today(,out of the blue lol) but it happens again that I don't know what to blog. I mean, other than only attending classes every weekdays, I normally chill myself at home during weekends, so there's not much things I have in mind to blog about. 

Ever since I started my second semester, study life has been very hectic and my schedule was so packed with academics stuffs. Firstly, dealing with case note, then followed by tons of new topics to study along with revisions for the previous topics. 

Eventually, my semester turns out to be:

"New topics+Revision+Studies+Revision+Nap+Food/Snack+Redbull/Coffee" (- -)

It's not that I'm putting stress onto myself but I'm trying to turn those stress into motivation. I believe mostly of the students would know this so-called 'theory' of "把压力变成动力", but just keep in mind that don't over stress yourselves otherwise you will ended up with something like committing suicide. Just kidding. :P

I guess I'm probably looking like this little owl right now as there's another exams coming up in less than 10 days. I wished that there was 48 hours per day so I could actually sleep a few more hours not too worrying that I won't finish my revision on time. (._.)

First Photoshoot

Time goes by fast and today marks the end of the first month of 2015. My new semester has started for a week already. Other than getting back into the college routine, preparations for the coming summer session UOL examinations is also another major thing for this semester. Well, I did paid a few thousand ringgits for the exam, so I should at least put in efforts so that I can pass the exam instead of wasting those moneys.

Putting aside the back to school issue, I just had my first cosplay photoshoot around 2 weeks ago, which was the time that I'm still in my semester break. Judging from the picture above, I believe you guys (Especially the Love-Livers hahaha) can probably guess the character despite that it's still a preview. 

Having a photoshoot was quite new to me because it was my first time having an actual photoshoot and thankfully that it went quite smooth thanks to the photographer's efforts and guidances.*laughs*

The only failure point of this photoshoot was my forgetfulness and eventually forgot the fluffy earpiece. Orz Oh well, what has been done cannot be undone. I hope that I could have second shoot for this character again someday to 'make up my regrets' for this photoshoot. Afterall, I really love this character and I would really like to get close to perfection of the overall appearance. qwq            

Comic Fiesta Mini 2014 @ Penang Times Square

Hello!!! It's been a BIG while already. I'm quite shocked knowing that I have actually didn't make any entry for almost a month!!!! However, it's not that surprising as I'm aware that as soon as the new semester starts, I would need to spend mostly of my time reading facts, principles as well as cases. So..........now I get it why I was advised study a lot harder, it takes times to read several times and then, understand the theory correctly. Also, I know it is quite late.... I mean, VERY LATE for me to post this up so again, I apologize for the delay.

From the post title it's obvious wise that this entry would be about Comic Fiesta Mini 2014 which was held on the 27th &28th of September, which is exactly around 3 weeks back.

If we compare it to last year's Comic Fiesta Mini, this time the exhibition is much more better on the arrangement since that the venue is more wider and well arranged. Another thing is that the event is in a closed area and only peoples who purchase entry ticket could be able to get into the venue instead of letting it be in a open area like last year's.

Bingsu Sunday @ Gurney Paragon Mall

Hello! So how's the weekend? 

My friends were having their one week break from school so I was asked that whether if I'm free to hangout with them on last Sunday, and of course, I responded by joining them. I mean, how could I turn down the invitation? Unlike the past, we hardly met each other often right now. Furthermore, after the short break they will be busy preparing for their major exam (STPM) while I'll be starting the actual course, which then I'll also be a lot more busy. In fact, it'll be even difficult for us to spare times out to meet up by then. Despite that I'm having a paper on Wednesday, I spared one day out for that. (Moreover, the exam for that general subject is not that difficult. I did my studies beforehand already *laughs*)

Another thing is that this post was supposed to be published a few days ago but due to that exam as well I delayed the publishing time to revise the notes once again. (Or else, I would actually feeling guilty of being so lazy LOL!) So I apologize for that. Still, late is better than never, right? :P

As what we are acknowledged about, previously Caffe Bene is only having their outlets at Kuala Lumpur so I didn't really have the chance to visit there. However, they had finally opened their first franchising outlet in Penang on 29 of August and it's located at Gurney Paragon Mall. My friends are fanatics of Korean stuffs, including tasty Korean-related foods, so it's naturally that we would want to try the famous Bingsu since that there's the chance already. 

———————————————————————————————

Caffe Bene is a coffeehouse chain based in Seoul, South Korea, founded in May 2008 by Sun-Kwon Kim, current CEO of Caffe Bene. Caffe Bene is the largest coffeehouse in South Korea in terms of the number of stores and now frachising in various countries which includes Malaysia. They are known for their Bingsu, but they do also provide coffees, waffles, breads and some others, even confectionery. 

As for what Bingsu actually is, is a very popular and elaborate dessert in Korea, especially during the summer season. (Meanwhile, Malaysia is a tropical country. Yay for Bingsu! ) It is composed of ice shavings and various ingredients such as fruits, cereal flakes or even tteukbokki(Korean rice cake). It is often topped with ice cream or frozen yogurt. The most popular variety is the traditional patbingsu made with sweetened red beans and 'Pat' stands for red bean paste while 'Bingsu' is referring to the shaved ice.

Now lets move on to the main subject!

Nature

It's Sunday today. Unlike some girls of my age hanging out and have fun out of home shopping with friends, at this time I'm spending my weekend with assignments which would need to be done and passed up for the following weeks.

As I mentioned before in the previous post, there's still around 6 projects, assignments and paperworks to be done, and now a few more are completed. Since that I've completed my part on those that are needed to be handed over to the lecturer next week, so I'm actually taking a breath to do some of my personal things, including blogging here.

Recently, I just did one of the group project(Of course, along with my fellow teammates) at the Youth Park. Therefore, despite of solely doing my job as the photographer of the project, I took the advantage again to do some personal photographs since that I'm already there already. (laughs)

Breeze

Oh, hello again & hello August!




I'd finally done mostly of the important part on the paperworks of my assignments & projects. Yet, I still need to spend a little more time to practice my presentation (which would fall on the following week).

Despite that I'm pretty much tired right now because of those heavy coursework, I've been trying to relax myself a little bit in between. Yesterday, I went meeting up with my team members to discuss on one of the coursework and the meeting is taken place at a McDonald franchise and there's a seafront promenade just across the road. After the discussion was done, I was thinking :"Why not I go for some walk there? Since that it's still early to go home.". Hence, I did went for a little walk, sitting there, enjoy the view of the sea and the gentle wind there. Oh, and snapped some photos there as well. :P

Comic Fiesta Mini Cosplan

Hello! As all of us are aware , July will be ending today and tomorrow will be August already.

Although there's only having 3 MPU subjects classes in this current semester, I didn't expected that there would be so many projects and assignments came at once. Thus, I have been busying and try to get those tasks done as soon as possible (Basically because there's 2 presentation coming up next week Orz). To make this blog remain alive, I'll try to make simple updates. I would probably only do beauty or fashion post after my presentation.

As some of you who are concern about ACG events, you guys should have know that Comic Fiesta Mini is happening at Penang again this year. The date for the event would be on the 27th & 28th of September, which means there's only less than 2 months to go!

Last year I didn't came up with any cosplans, but as for this year, most likely I'll be cosplaying as these character for the respective days.

 I'll be cosplaying as Nanase Haruka from 'Free!' in navy suit version for day 1.
As for day 2, I'm still unsure whether I'll be cosplaying as Kise Ryouta's genderbend or Futaba Yoshioka. Mainly because I'm still experimenting the makeup look. If my outfit for Futaba couldn't make it on time, most likely I'll be cosplaying as Kise's genderbend by then.

I'm pretty anticipate for this year's Comic Fiesta Mini's doujin booths, guest lineup and as well meeting some of my friends who are going to attend the event!!  I had missed the Cosplay Invasion during March due to some private matters. Orz
I hope this time plans will goes smoothly. *cross-fingers*

Now then, it's barely this much that I could write about for now. Maybe I'll come up with another post tomorrow. :)

Life Updates.

Hello there lovelies!! Sorry again for the lack of updates this lately, but this blog ain't dead!

It has been one and a half month since my lectures has already started. I'm actually starting a new semester on MPU subjects tomorrow while my actual lectures for my program will only start at the mid of September, which means I'll probably have a hectic life on case study by then. ^^"

I actually ad a lot of free time last month due that there's only 2 days of lectures per week. I told myself to blog more often. However, things happening everyday was almost the same and I spent mostly of my time at home while there's no class. Therefore, I haven't to be able to get some new idea to blog about for this lately. (Well, there's no way I would report on my daily routines on the blog right? :P) Despite of having lack of ideas for new blog post, I guess I'll still try to bring up something and blog some I have in mind. =v=b

Basically this lately is that when there's no lectures, I did make some practices on taking photo while I was out of home. Then I'll try to edit the photo using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when I'm back home. Eventually I came up with some random photos throughout the times.

Unexpectedly Fast

Hello lovelies!

Remember there's once I posted that I would be working for this few months until my program intake on September?

Some times, things happened out of the blue. At first I was planning to register for the intake at a certain college but then I found out the fees are rather costly so I went surveying and found another college that is also pretty good for pursuing my program on Law.

Hence, I made my phone call to the office last week. Then, I was told that the intake would be on June and the orientation is just 4 days to go!(Which is today and yes, I just came back from the first day of my orientation *panting*)

I asked that whether if they still have October intake but I was somehow advised to go for the June intake because it would be an ease for me in applying my study loan.

Then I got panicked because there's only a few days to go and I haven't prepare a single thing yet for registration! Since that I was on my noon shift on the day after I made the phone call, I woke up early and drove all the way down to Penang to settle things down.

Since that I'm applying for a study loan, I was told that I would need to open a bank account, a study loan account and get the pin number for the loan as well as getting necessary photocopies ready. (Which I didn't even get anything done at all).

Everything was done in a hurry last Friday because banks service would be closed on weekends so I woke up again early as if I'm having morning shift on my work.

Fortunately enough is that all the banks that I was told to go are available just at the area nearby my working place. Surprisingly, everything were done in less than 2 hours since that there's no much people at the bank at that hour.

After all those hastes, everything were settled down.

Going back to the study life is just ahead and which means, I would need to cease in continuing on with my 'arubaito' (which means part time job) and focus on my academic.

All that I could say that it's all worth for me for working during those previous month. I learnt things that I couldn't learn through those I studied in the curricular. I learnt to be patience, to know how the society actually is, to know how nasty some persons are. I learnt not to cry over spilled milk and not to cry over little things. I learnt how to behave as mature teenager. Most of all, I learnt to communicate. At least I'm not much of a social awkward person like I used to be. (I'm rather a shy person :/ )

My actual lecture commences on the second week of June and my last day of working is on the 7th of June. I would be pleased if I still stand another chance to work again but these would all only start after I finish my degree. If possible, I actually want to work again if there is a long term break from school. It's rather benefiting myself instead that I stay at home doing nothing.

Since that my program doesn't have class EVERY SINGLE DAY among the weeks hopefully the classes that are to be commenced on the period till December would have no class on Monday.*prays, HARDLY*
*coughs* Pardon me for my selfish thoughts LOL.

I'd missed Comic Fiesta once last year due to MPW exam (FYI if I missed the exam I couldn't graduate from certificate and I'll have to pay and go for the same thing again. That's why. - -). Thus, I hope I could attend this year's and meet up some friends and cosplayers there. (and also all those doujin booths) ><

Tomorrow would be the second day of the orientation and I hope to get knowing more new peoples there. Hopefully everything goes smoothly that time.

                                                                                       

New family members

Guess who's back? It's been a while already. *laughs* I'm terribly sorry for lacking of updates again. :<

Exactly a year ago, my cousin brought a Rottweiler puppy for me. I'd name her Ember and she has black shiny fur. Who knows. Time goes by pretty fast and it's May already. and she's already 1 years & 43 days old already.

Ember had her period about two months back and ...... oh well, got pregnant. ._.
Then, she gave birth to 7 puppies on 27th April 2014. To be frank, I didn't expected that she could actually gave birth to half a dozen of pups since that it's her first time giving birth LOL.

Last night I have been spending my time snapping photo of these cute little pups. all of they were so sleepy so they actually didn't move too much and I could actually take quite a number of still photos of them :D

Meeting with Friend

Ohayou and Happy April Fools Day! Have you prank on anyone already? Or been prank by someone already? *laughs*

I'd blogged that I went meeting up with Ewen on the last Thursday. Apart from having our brunch at Cozy in the Rocket, we did went to 1st Avenue for some shopping.

Though we initially didn't plan to watch movie but there's still plenty of time until the time we're going back home so we went to take a look at the movie list, then only we decide what movie to watch.

Then we ended up watching different movie since that I don't really want to watch Divergent so instead, I chose to watch Super Show 4 Concert's  3D-x movie *fangirling mode* /LOL/

While waiting for our movie we just sat at the rest area available and ...... well, taking photo (being vain LOL). ^^'

Cozy Break

Good morning everyone!

Today I'd woke up earlier than expected and I still have some times before I start driving to work, so why not I make another blog post throughout these hours? :P

Okay, enough with these things that doesn't really matter. So, I just had my off day last Thursday. Since that those friends of mine who are studying form 6 is still on their semester holiday, I asked my friends whether they're free to meet up but mostly of them were occupied with tuitions so only Ewen turned up to be the one who's available to join me.

For that day we actually planned to go for brunch at De Moonlight Café and go for a shopping then, have lunch at the mall after that. However, it's rather unfortunate because De Moonlight is not having their business for that day. We actually really wished to try out their signature honey oat chicken as well as the banana milkshake. Too bad we're not lucky enough on that day. :/

When we're walking on our way to the parking area we also went strolling at the street which has a lot of  tourists since that that particular area is one of a tourist attraction with heritages and mural arts.

While we're walking back we discovered another interesting café at the same street. Since that we're already there and it's rather time wasting for us to drive to another place just for the brunch, we settled by having our brunch at the café - Cozy in the Rocket.

To be honest I was actually also attracted by the adorable paintings at their outdoor, there's always something which appeals us to go into it :P

So here's how the mailbox at the storefront looks like.

Wishlist Achieved

Hello!

I'm terribly sorry for not making any updates for the past few weeks again due to work. (As I have been arranged to noon shift a lot this month -_-)

But anyways! This blog is still alive and lets get into this topic alright? *laughs*

It has been always a dream for every blogger to get a better camera for taking photo, which includes me. I couldn't stand myself just always blogging with photos with average quality. I mean, apart from the psychological effect in my mind, I actually want to bring up photos, which are even better and attractive onto my blog to share to my readers. Besides, I'm actually sort of a photography enthusiasts so that make senses a little bit already, right?

I have been working for almost 2 months already. Naturally I would have earned some bucks into my saving account along with my savings throughout the time. Wise said, a penny saved is a penny earned. Then, I already have sufficient ready money for me to get myself the camera for myself.

Apart from setting myself a budget, I also read up quite a lot of review on various model of camera so that I could properly select the ideal camera for myself without having any regrets after purchasing.

After reading some reviews by beauty bloggers the camera I had in mind at first was to find a camera similarly to the Sony Nex F3 like Cheesie owns. However the camera has been discontinue and replaced by Nex 3NL. After scrolling up at Sony's website I find fond on the camera of Nex 5T which has a potential to produce photos with even better quality. It also have Build-in Wifi as well as NFC one-touch sharing. Concerning that I actually want a camera with good quality instead of  beauty filters (I can still photoshop it anyway :P), I chose 5T as my camera choice. Hence, there goes the starting of my money saving plan for the sake of getting the camera.

After a few months, my friend who works at Sony Centre told me that Sony has released a new camera that is similarly to Nex 5T, which is α5000. It's also claimed to have the lightest weight as well as good potential in taking DSLR quality photos. It also have a rather cheaper retail price of MYR 1999. Since that I'm on a budget I started to get hesitated whether I should get 5T or α5000 since that each has their strengths and weaknesses in specifications.

For just in case, I'd consulted opinion from that friend of mine as well as calling every single branch of Sony in Penang to get the information regarding their respective offers. Only then I made some comparison. Since that α5000 is still a brand new model, almost half of the branches doesn't carry in with the camera yet. Then, when I made my phone call to Megamall Penang's Sony Centre, I was told that they're currently having a offer of MYR 1888 instead of MYR1999. I did also ask for the retail price for 5T and I was told they're selling at MYR 1899 including the 200 rebate. Then I got even struggling between those 2 cameras since that there's only RM11 price difference between them rather than the RM300 difference if according to normal retailed price.

Then I was like :"Why don't I get myself NEX5T anyway? Since that the price difference is only RM11 now and 5T seems to be more capable in taking pro type photos. :/"
However, when I pay a visit to the store there and I was told that 5T would probably be discontinued due that they're having α5000 already as a substitution.

In eventual, my decision is to purchase α5000. I bought it at MYR1888 and I was entitled with a camera bag, a class 4 8gb memory card and a tripod as gifts upon my purchase. I also bought a lens protector and a filter as well. Then, the total was MYR1999, exactly as the normal price for the camera. But thank goodness that it's still within my budget which is MYR 2100 (Since that I believed that 5T won't be at the normal price of MYR2299 over time *smirks*).

After such a long story, let me proudly present to you all!!!! ...........*drumrolls*..... my camera!! :D

My First Part Time Job

Before getting into the topic, I would like to wish everyone here a Happy Chinese New Year! I hope that I'm not too late. There's still a few days to go till Chap Goh Meh where it's the last day for CNY :P
Also, I would like to say sorry for completely neglected my blog for a whole week.

You all would wonder why? Or maybe whether if I started to be lazy to blog again?

The reason behind is that I've been  busy with my first job for the whole week. Since that I'm a newcomer for this work I'd been arranged to work on noon shift for this first week, which is 2pm-10pm. Then, I would only arrive home at 11pm. I got so worn out after a whole day of work and I still have to wake up early for job on the next day. That's why I can't even tend to blog. Do pardon me for that /sobs/

Everything in Life is Luck

Good evening! :D

The results for the Advance Level examination on November 2013 has just released online 2 days ago.
I was quite lucky that I'd pass my exam with 2 subjects which required for me in order to continue with my further studies of degree in Law!

Though the result I got might not be as well as some others, but I'm still happy because it was an ease as I would not need to retake the exam. Furthermore, I also managed not to give my parents another burden for paying the retaking exam fees.FYI, it cost at least MYR800 for 2 subjects including the entry fees. -_-

To be honest, my mom once told me that if I actually fail my exam she wouldn't pay for the fees, which means I actually need to pay the fees on my own. However, the thing that I was terrified about is not the expensive fees which would cost if I need to retake but in fact I was scared that I would end up like a child of my mom's friend's friend [Yes, that how the relation should be LOL]. She was taking AL exam like I did and her younger sister studied secondary 6 instead of going college. Then eventually her younger sister already went for IPTA while she's till retaking her AL exam after years.

Now I'm glad that everything turned out to be fine and I'd obtained the 2 passes which are require as one of the term for my entry for LLB. I swear I would not take those for granted. Everything in life is luck. I'm quite lucky that I've passed and I hope that it would actually enough for me to enter into degrees. :)

Additionally I felt quite sorry for a classmate of mine that needs to retake. He took 2 subjects instead of 3 and he failed one of those subjects. Also I'm wondering how was the result other classmates are. I seldom contacts or socialize with them due to my social awkward, my bad. :/ Hopefully they're happy with their results. > <

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it." - Robert Collier

I'll try my best on my next phase in further studies. As for now, I'll have to work hard on my part-time job which will start on next month. Ganbarimasu! :D
