Creep kitten

Literally spent 99% of my Sunday in bed nursing this horrid headache whilst catching up on Naruto Spin-off: Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals episodes. I have a test on Wednesday and exams in a couple of weeks and I haven't started studying. Clearly, I'm back to my old ways. Maybe if I close my eyes this will all just go away. なんちゃって！ 

I'm just sitting here, anticipating the arrival of the pokémon cartridges and the nintendo ds lite I ordered in the mail. Welp, I might just have to chomp on grass for the remaining days of this month. With that zero-sense-of-wanting-to-save mentality comes well deserving consequences. Meanwhile, I really need to catch up on One Piece and Naruto episodes. After all, anime > life no? 

Pokémon memories

Sunday. Me in my new glasses. Empty space on the wall because my poster kept falling off and I just gave up trying. Miruku was extra naughty that day.

On another note, call me crazy but I just bought a used Nintendo Ds Lite with my allowance and am currently bidding for 2 Pokémon games on eBay. I regret selling my Nintendo Ds back then for a PSP, albiet my PSP has served me well throughout the years. And I already gave away my Pokémon games to my younger cousin a long time ago thinking I was way past the Poké phase. I couldn't be more wrong. Now I can't wait to get my hands 'em and start battling gym leaders and catching pokémon. After pondering over which nintendo console I should get, I decided to go back to the ds lite instead of 3DS because price wise, it was cheaper and you're able to play gameboy advance games on it.

I admit the new pokémon x and y on the 3DS platform is cool cause it's frickin' 3D and everything is changed in an awesome and cool way, (definitely check out the trailer on youtube!)

With a heavy heart

With an emotionless expression, earphones plugged in, lost in a world of music on the busy morning train.
She drags her feet to school everyday from the train station.
She barely gets through the day but not without a deep sigh or two.
She trudges back to the train station from school. This time with heavier footsteps.
Emotionless expression plastered across her face, yet again lost in the world of music. Signs of visible weariness.
Greeted by her gran, kitten, dog, hamster when she gets home. Her mood lightens up instantly.
Without a care in the world, she seeks solace in the internet. Spending hours from the time she gets home till the time she goes to bed.
Overwhelmed with fatigue, she crawls into bed, all snuggled under the blanket with her kitten and dreams the dream she would've have given anything for, to happen in reality.
And then, couple of hours later, that dreaded alarm goes off, reality sets in, she sighs, the routine starts again.

Be Strong // Fefe Dobson

I once had begged the great lord above, please bring him home.

Woe is me

My kitten loves to casually step on my boobs, hiss at strangers, lie in wait behind the door for my dog to playfully pounce on her and detests her fish printed collar which is apparently too big for her. 

I haven't updated this space in almost a week, my bad. School has been a drag, literally dragging my feet to school everyday, physically sitting in class but my soul's long gone wondering when will this end. I want to get back into reading novels, I used to adore reading when I was little. Upon purchasing a new book, would immediately rip the plastic wrap off and commence reading whilst walking also begging my mother to hold my hand so I wouldn't knock into a pole or someone else for that matter. So yes, long story short I want to get back into reading. 

Purr

2:32AM • ミルク is not amused but now she is laying near my neck purring acting as my chin rest

goodnight x

Today I,

• paid a visit to the skin doc today to stock up on products (a stronger dose this time since my skin condition has been poo the last couple of months)
• sang loudly in the car to Paramore's The Final Riot album
• got myself a new pair of spectacle frames
• went around checking for pet/insect screens to cat proof my home
• tried cap'n crunch peanut butter cereal for the first time and it was 10/10
• took a nap with Miruku beside me
• conversed with Japanese Siri using my mediocre japanese skills

One of those crazy girls

Celebrated Angeline's 19th Birthday with the girls last Friday. 

Original plan was to have dinner together at Aston's @ Katong but the queue and the wait was terribly slow and long so Angeline introduced us to Fatboy's The Burger Bar instead. Food was delish and affordable! 

Buddy Buddy Cheers > Avalon > Neverland

Managed to get free VIP entry to Avalon because Charis' boyfriend had connections. Huhu.

Had a blast with everyone but most importantly the birthday girl enjoyed herself too. <3

I'm a slouch monster

4 girls squeezing in a toilet cubicle. No idea what we were doing here.

Right now, I can only dream. 

So many obstacles but I guess this just makes it more worthwhile in the end. 

*One Piece Luffy's voice* 大丈夫！！ がんばろうぜ！

Last Hope • Paramore

I don't even know myself at all / And I thought I would be happy (by now) / But the more I try to push it I realize / Gotta let go of control / Gotta let it happen / Let it happen / Gotta let it happen / Let it happen / Every night I try my best to dream / Tomorrow makes it better / Wake up to the cold reality / That not a thing is changed / But it will happen / Gotta let it happen / Let it happen / Let it happen / It's just a spark / But it's enough to keep me going / And when it's dark out / No one's around / It keeps glowing / And the salt in these wounds isn't burning any more than it used to / It's not that I don't feel the pain / I'm just not afraid of hurting anymore / All the blood in these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has / And that's the hope I have / The only thing that I know is keeping me alive / GOTTA LET IT HAPPEN / It's just a spark / But it's enough to keep me going / And when it's dark out / No one's around / It keeps glowing

Apparently my hair is considered too light according to school rules so I'm dyeing my hair a really dark brown this time.

I used Liese's 'Dark Chocolat' last time round and I'm going with 'Black Tea Brown' this time. 

Baby steps

Right now, I'm on edge constantly checking my emails everyday. More details if it all goes well. 

I wouldn't have it any other way

Struggling, but still alive

Excuse my damp hair and the fact that I'm in my pjs. Isn't Miruku the cutest? Although lately I've come to realize she tends to get rather feisty and aggressive when she meet strangers. Looks like I'll have to teach her to be nice. :(

Sushi buffet after school with the bestard was the best, we took our time stuffing our faces with food and chatting about anything and everything.

Lately everyday has been a struggle, mentally/emotionally. I'm just not happy being in this course anymore. I mean I enjoy going to school and everything but I am constantly finding myself thinking about just giving up. Sounds rather foolish given the fact that I'm nearly a year away to graduating. For now, I'm trying to remain positive and stop having those conflicting thoughts. However, I'll find ways to make my dreams come through despite whatever struggles I may face. Once I graduate, I'll try to land my arse in Japan and continue pursing my studies there. No I'm not joking. The best way to learn to be more independent is to just dump yourself in a foreign country and try to survive and fend for yourself. I know it's going to take a lot to be able to study overseas. Sounds ridiculous but not entirely impossible. 

Stupid dreams

If the world wasn't so revolved around money and education, I would have scrimped and saved to buy myself a one-way ticket to Japan long ago. It doesn't matter if I'd end up penniless over there, I just need to gtfo of here. Yes, it sounds so irresponsible and stupid but I wouldn't think twice if given the chance. 

I can't wait to graduate and realize my dreams. 

On another note, I'm a proud mama! Adopting a kitten makes me feel like I'm caring for an infant. For the first time, I witnessed ミルク drink water from her bowl. Because she's an orphan, she never learnt how to drink water from the bowl (as ridiculous as that might sound). She'd put her face in the water, freak out and end up sneezing. Most of the time, she usually completely ignores it or at the most, dip her paw in and shake off the water. Which results me in always having to flood her kibble with water in an attempt to get her to drink because she doesn't drink enough. So you could imagine how proud I felt when I saw her lap up all that plain water (no kibbles) in her water bowl. She's currently cuddled up beside snoozing after stepping all over my keyboard. 

Oh Miranda, you weird being.

Right, so it's 2:19AM and I should really be turning in since school is starting on Monday but I have this urge that came out of nowhere to purchase eyeshadows despite the fact that I don't really apply any particular eye makeup except eyeliner. Oh brain, y u so random?
Spent most of my Friday stuck at home, singing to the songs played on MTV, playing Clash of Clans, feeding my dog and kitten, making sure both of them are playing nice, having to blow my nose and endure that agonising headache. Although I did manage to go out and get Miruku a little cat tree (my dad didn't let me get a bigger one even though I was paying for it, wut is earth) and a little safety glow-in-the-dark collar that turned out a little too big for her tiny little neck. I guess we'll just have to wait until she gets bigger. I refuse to stay at home tomorrow, so I might go with my parents to take a look at magnetic insect/pet screens to cat proof our windows and at the same time keep those pesky moths and random bugs out. Time to snuggle with le kitty. Goodbam. x

New addition to the family.

Miruku, Ariel and Pretzels. <3

Adopted this cutie on the 2nd of April. Her name is ミルク (Miruku; it means milk in Japanese although 牛乳 gyuunyuu is another word for milk) My friend's cousin found her on 29th Jan near her house area still in the sac (literally just born) and the mother cat was nowhere to be seen. Usually mother cats would chew and eat away the sac but apparently something must have happened to the mother. My friend and her cousin took turns taking care of the kitten before Bestard fostered her for 4 weeks and only recently did I bring her home. She's pretty much made herself at home, constantly stepping all over my macbook keyboard, leaping from my bed to my desk, purring in contentment whenever I pet her, snuggling in bed with me at night. Not only that, so far my dog has been pretty accepting of Miruku although she does get a tad bit too over playful at times and the kitten doesn't really like it but there's no barks, hisses, biting between them so all is well. I've always whined about wanting to adopt a cat/kitten since years ago and right now curled up on my lap snoozing whilst I'm blogging is a kitten I can call my own. Nothing beats this.

Graves • Favourite flowers

It was something I've been genuinely wanting to do since the last grave visiting which occurred sometime last year; which was to use my own money to buy flowers for my 2 lovely great-grans whom I would have loved to meet in this lifetime. 

I made a call to my grandma to meet at the marketplace the very next day to purchase some flowers since she wanted to get some too. For fear I would not get up on time, I made the sillest decision to stay up all night. Which resulted in a very sleep deprived me. I asked both my grandmas about my great-grans' preferences regarding flowers and it turns out my maternal great-gran loved orchids and my paternal great-gran loved white flowers. I also got a fushia-maroonish one for my late grandad whom I have zero idea what he likes.

I don't know if it was the weather or lack of sleep but I ended up getting fainting spells soon after leaving the cemetery and had a puking fest after visiting my grandad's urn (he was cremated). It did not turn out so well for me physically, but I was really glad to be able to finally do something which I've always wanted to do for quite some time now. I'll definitely be buying flowers again for them next year. 

Also, after a long hiatus on my japanese log, I just updated it. clickme

Have a great Sunday! x

Thrift Shopping

It was quite an experience, enduring the hot sweltering weather and the rain, digging through racks of clothing, old plates, cds and knick knacks. Thrift shopping is buckets of fun but I guess it depends as well, making our way from one thrift store to another I ended up with 4 cds (Maroon 5/Evanescence/Linkin Park/Lighthouse Family) and a WWE survivor series 2008 vcd all of which I've only paid $2 in total. 

I've been growing my fringe out for the sake of convenience especially when I have to tie my hair up in a bun on a school day but lately I've been finding it more of an annoyance. Always having to run my fingers through my fringe to keep it out of my face. Guess I can't be arsed about convenience anymore because I'm going to get rid of this fringe at the salon as soon as possible and I don't really care if it's going to curl up like how it always does. 

Right, with that being said I'll probably end my night watching WWE. Smell y'all soon. x

Butter on toast

What have I been up to (lately)?

In short:
Gaming/Watching documentaries/Geordie Shore/Hanging out/Sleeping in/Sleeping late/Having supper every night

I'd always set aside at least an hour or two each day to indulge in the world of Team Fortress 2. 

The other day, I spent the whole time in bed watching movie after movie on my iPad. Gnomeo and Juliet is Romeo and Juliet on a whole new ceramic level. I recommend it!

Lately, I've been having issues sleeping. Always tossing and turning in bed until I doze off but that would always be after 3AM. 

Ugggg my back is aching and these medicinal pain relief patches ain't helping one bit. Goodbam.
