Food hunt #2

There's a reason why my sister (Suanzy) hates me. 

It all happens when she turned 3. Due to the strict adherence of tolerance, sharing and caring towards the younger siblings, she passed her birthday plastic knife to me reluctantly. Then she regretted her whole life because apparently her infant sister does not know what is symmetry.(She's a smart kid, went to kindergarten at the age of 2, memorizing multiplication table when she was 4)

The proof of some spoiled kid pouting
This afternoon, we went for my driving practice, and then afternoon tea in DOIFFEE that recently opened in Taman Desa. She again relive the horrible scene when we were eating the cakes.


 I just looked her into her eyes, enjoyed her horrid expression with a mouthful of cakes.

flat white and cheese cake

red velvet cake

front door of doiffee, the insides are damn comfortable

cute jelly cakes
I tried drinking Americano, and then I think I should stick to chocalate. I'm no good in coffee. I'll give 9/10 for the atmosphere and 6/10 for the food and drinks.

After the tea, we went to Setiawalk for dinner without a clear direction in mind. My sister thought GRAND SHANGHAI street would be a good spot, but I find the food variety small so we didn't have our meal there.


 We wondered around like ghouls, finally my eldest sister, Emily says that she heard a Japanese sushi house, Makiya Sushi has reasonable price and she insisted to find the spot. We had no idea where is the exact location but we're sure that it's near, so we passed by the nasi kandar shop back and forth for about four times ("urgh, I think its at the other end." "Erm, let's turn back." "Ehhh, let's go back that side, maybe its a little more further but we didn't see it leh"), until we felt embarrassed to pass through there (we purposely walk behind the trees LOL)

Then we found out that it's near our parking place. 

HAH. GENIUS.



I almost shed tears when I see the price. 
IT'S SO BEAUTIFULLY CHEAP.

The wrong way to eat wasabi, but different place has different taste
Chicken curry rice, 20 MYR

ONLY 20 MYR FOR UNAGI!!
The sushi rolls I showed above also has 12 MYR ones, similiar style with different flavour.
I can't believe I can find a tasty and cheap Japanese restaurant with cheerful BGM.
Rating 9/10 overall .Definitely coming back!

Psychopath.

Or in anime term-"Yandere".

Talking about this topic, my blog should really change title into "Find a reason to cry"



Ever thought of having a Yandere boyfriend/girlfriend ?

 This is my very first attempted to draw an 8 page long manga (It's a habit to end short stories in 8 pages, it was the limit of pages in teenager weekly press back in my days) about a psychopath. I really, really wanna try drawing a dark story. I hope it turns out okay. There you go:

-GRAPHIC WARNING-
-AND SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMAR MISTAKES!-











In case nobody get what Cole is holding in the last to page, its a chainsaw, I'm sorry 
I suck at drawing it *cries*
When Cole went Yandere in page 4, he looks exactly like Jean  (╯ಠДಠ)╯┻━┻

Time used from drafting till complete :  2 days
Manual work:  Everything except scenery,fonts and blood splatters.
Character:  Adapted from my friend Suzanne's short story " It started with a Pop-up Book", It's originally a sweet story, I'm just a twisted individual that spoils everything in her story.

Yandere is someone that would go to an extend to eliminate all obstacles for their love, sometimes including the person that they love. When I was still young and pure, I thought Yandere is just possessive and overly-attached, overall they are pretty cute. THEN I SAW GASAI YUNO.


I chosed a not so gory GIF.
WTF.

Yandere are crazy, but they are still sane. However, they're different from deprive. I'm not gonna talk much about it, you can go google or wiki for more information. But here's my advice when you deal with Yandere:

1. NEVER GO NEAR THEM.
2. NEVER TALK SHIT BEHIND THEM.
3. NEVER TRY TO SNATCH AWAY THEIR "BELONGINGS"

If you have done above three, congrats, all you can do is:

1.RUN.
2.RUUUUUUUUUUN.
3.DIE.

Hair Evolution

I use to think that long hair is my thing.
Taken on Year 2011 Chinese New Year
Side view, I used to have really really long hair.

I have very little power in making decision since I was a child. My dress, my hairstyles were all decided by my mom. I was not allowed to have fringe because I have ballet lessons, even I see some girls in the studio kept them. I got beaten once because I cut my hair off due to curiosity (I'm a teenager that time, forever a child in parent's eyes), from that you can see, I have no control over my body, I don't even dare to think of being in trend. (Pretty sad in retrospect)


Then one day in my 16, my mom suddenly agree on letting me having a fringe. "Tell the hairdresser what kind of hairstyles you want, you can decide yourself," she said. HOLY MOLLY. I'm completely dumbfounded. Then I got this hairstyle below.

Fieldtrip in the year end
WADAFARK. IT'S KINDA NOOB.

 I kept this hairstyle for about 1 year+, then I move on to a new hairstyle. 
It was a big surprise and EPIC FAIL.
(Those days without smartphone and good editing software)

Looks kinda cool from a higher angle

It looks terrible from the front.

(Attending my first and last IU DAY) Luckily my hair grew longer , in case you guys are in doubt, yes I'm wearing contact lenses xD
  THOSE DAYS WERE HORRENDOUS.This terrible hairstyle were in my high school graduation picture and still a contact picture in my dad's phone. I hated my thick, messy long hair and thought of getting it short for good, then it became worst. I realize my face were long like horse face, my cheeks are bulky, and short hair were emphasizing all these flaws. It's easy to have short hair, but I told myself NO MORE SHORT HAIR.

I grew my hair after national service, it's the first time for me to have full make up on me.
It is also my first profile picture on Facebook that get more than 100 likes.


I decided to have long hair, but not as long as I used to have ( till the hips!) So I constantly trim them, use conditioners, patiently dry my hair with hairdryers(so that it'll be in shape) . Also, I started to haul make ups and beauty products, because I want to look cute and pretty too! (partially due to working needs) It took me 1 and a half year to have obedient hair, learn fashion taste, and wearing the correct bra (thanks to my girls in form 6! You helped me a lot!)etc. I can't say I'm super good in dressing up, but at least I improved.




MY HAIR IS COMPLETELY TAMED! I could let it down like other girls! What a relieve!
Last year's Eid Mubarak (Hari Raya)


After years in government school (including pre-U), I went to dye my hair immediately.
 I want it bright and striking!



 Frankly speaking, it looks a bit LALA (hipster). I got condemned a lot from my family members, they almost skin me alive *laughs* It's actually a pretty hard time for me to break my family's prejudice on fashion and styling. Taking care of outwards doesn't equal to being superficial. Sadly everyone thought that I got hooked up on dressing up and doesn't give a shit about my future. Don't judge a book by it's cover please!

much better isn't it?

  It was fun having new hair colour at the beginning, then I start to experience hair problem such as dryness. I start to regret dying it. The hair dresser that use to take care of our hair since my teenage nagged me on doing so. "Your hair is completely spoiled!"her tone was a little annoyed,"No more hair dying next time, you know it hurts your hair a lot!" My inner self had already made countless face palm.

  After a few months dealing with dry, strangled ends, I decided to dye it back to black due to my part time job. Man, it's hard to say good bye to this bright, cheerful colour! 

 HOWEVER- my hair evolution does not stop! In fact, it's a big plot twist!
(Selfies before casting)

I received an email from a hair studio, wanting me to cast for being a hair model. I went to the casting, got it, and the next thing, BOOM-

BEFORE THE SHOW

BEFORE THE SHOW

AFTER THE SHOW


WHOOPS MY DOUBLE CHIN D:

She fetched me during rehearsal and show, easy going girl!
I've never ever ever imagined that I would be modelling, even though I'm no pro, even though it's just for one night, I'm completely satisfied!

I love the vibrant colours!!

Enjoy styling it a lot!

Unfortunately, my mom hate it. Because it's not how a student should look like. So I dyed back again, this time using a brown henna, cheaper and nicer. Frankly speaking, I was a little hesitant when Kim (The JOICO hair show hairstylist) suggested me a short hair, but it turned out great! 

unbelievably, this pic has more than 100 likes as well.
I clearly remember I took this photo after a blood donation (this explain the plaster on my left hand). It was a sudden realization-"Hey, I could look good in short hair too!" 

This time, I wanna keep my hair short, for long! I'm not afraid of horse faces anymore *plays "LET IT GO"*

my hair look terrible after the henna wears off, so I decided to touch up.
(I'm doing weird faces hahahaha NO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE)

This time, it's purplish brown!
Note that violet radiant
                                       
It's pretty modest without sunlight.


My current look!


 I really wanna try different colour next time! Looking back at the hair evolution, every single hairstyles carry different memory and mark my growth. I've never published most of the hair modelling photos because I'm shy and didn't want to boast about it. But it was fun with all those loving hairstylist, friendly models, giggly young girls, funny outfit, fabulous music! We all had our very own "superstar" moment during the modelling. I appreciated it, and I will cherish it.

I knew I wasn't fitting enough for professional modelling, so I'm grateful to have so much fun that night, to be able to experience a different moment from my previous life.

Thank you, for that night. :)









Interesting food hunt! (The reason why I love Malaysia)

Malaysia food varieties never bores me. NEVER. 

Pose macam yes, but seriously don't fancy Latte (¬д¬。)

  To be born in a multiculture country is one of the most lucky thing in the world, not to mention Malaysian's crazy dedication of food hunting. Food is Malaysian's life, food is Malaysian's pride! We love trying out different combination, even though my ancestry is Chinese, it's impossible for me to not have Spaghetti , Rendang and Mamak food in my meals. NOT HAVING MAMAK? THAT'S JUST CRAZY.

  We're in an era of globalization, obviously new food culture come pouring in Malaysia. Coffee house were mushrooming through out these few years(YAY to coffee lovers!) For people like me who do not know the delicacy of coffee, we go to coffee house for dessert, special dishes and relaxing enviroment. I've discovered a few unique places to go, although is a little pricey for students, but hey! You need some spirit rejuvenation, once in a while! Or maybe some comfy chatting place with your friends!

(The sequence does not represent ranking!)

1st. Le Lapin (Taman Danau Desa, Kuala Lumpur)
It's a quiet space, without obvious signboards, without much decoration. I went there for studies. 


Try Ice cube coffee! It's fun!

AHHHH It has homemade feeling :)

2nd. Await cafe. (Taman Danau Desa, Kuala Lumpur) 
Nice place, happy atmosphere. They have books that I like. :)

If you like to look outside, here's a special spot for you :)

I ONLY DRINK THICK CHOCOLATE >:)
3rd. Hop Hop cafe (SS18, Selangor)
One of the cutest theme cafe! WITH FLUFFLY BUNNIES!




4th. Coffee Stain ( Publika, Kuala Lumpur)

I like the atmosphere, of course their food is not half bad. 
Share the Tiramisu with my friends, I ate the most hahaha

I like to eat Aglio because it gave me a healthy (?) vibe 

5th. Standing Theory (SS2, Selangor)

THE BBC WAFFLE IS THE BOMB!
BBC stands for banana, bacon and ice cream, with the honey-coated waffle, whoever invent this combination, you're a genius!


Of course my life is not only coffee shop, look what I've found! 
Hershey soy milk tasted incredibly good!


AH, MY LIFE IS SO CONTENTED WITH FOOD!
