Buddies with the Australians!

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:59:00 +0000

I got a chance to to be buddies with 20 exchange students from University of South Australia with some other Malaysian students too. They have been here since Sunday and they're leaving next weekend. So far it has been pretty fun! I was nervous before I met them because I have never did this buddy thing before but it was nice to meet people from a different part of the world! Most of them are really friendly and excited to be in Malaysia. Here are a few pictures to give you a better look.

I tried the fortune sticks for the first time and my fortune is not that good.:(

This is Lilian, she's actually from China but she has been in Adelaide her whole life. She's really nice!:)

Group picture in front of KLCC!:)

This is Aimee and we're the same age and she was the first one I had a proper conversation with and she's really friendly too.

I'll be going to Malacca with them tomorrow and initially we, the Malaysian students were not suppose to follow them to Malacca but the Australian lecturers were so kind and willing to sponsor us to come along because they want us to spend more time with the Australian students. So thank you so much for sponsoring us, Dr. Tracy and Ms Skye!:)

First shoot with Wesley

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:44:00 +0000

I finally had a photoshoot with Wesley after procrastinating since last year. We were always discussing online on having a photoshoot so that he can practice his photography but we never had the time or he forgets about it.Hahaha!Fei Sin and Shurong came along too to help out a little.

Since it was sort of the first time I'm doing this kind of stuff, I felt like such a noob cause I didn't know much poses and my expressions were a little fake too but I did my best!These pictures are the nicest ones.

This was my first lying down shot and I love this one the most!I was going for the piercing through the lens look.

Fei Sin wanted to try silhouette shots so this was with Shurong.

I have a love-hate relationship with this picture.

Also another love-hate relationship with this one.

Love this cause of my colourful top looks so awesome here!

Love this too cause I didn't spoil the picture.Hahaha!

I need more practice on posing and expressions,I need help from Coco Rocha!:)

Anyway,I am a little nervous and excited for the luncheon in another few hours with the Australian students that are in Malaysia for a study tour. They're currently staying in my university's hotel called Ruumz. Hopefully they're nice and I will be able to make some friends there.

Escort for hire

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:00:00 +0000

I had some weird and random encounter last week when I was in a bank. I was just waiting in line(cue the Raygun song) to use the ATM to deposit some cash cause I did some online shopping again, when suddenly a man who was waiting in line next to me, started talking to me.

Man: Hi, you have a very nice complexion and your height is also decent. Would you like to work for events?
Me: Umm...sure?
Man: Good, my name is R* and I'm from Singapore. I am selling duty free products especially luxury goods and we need girls like you to help us sell those products to our important clients.
Me: Ok...
Man: Here's my card. I'll contact you soon.

Luckily, it was already my turn so I just left immediately after that. I didn't expect the dude to contact me anymore after that day but he did call around 11a.m the next day and his call woke me up from my awesome possum dream.

Man: Hello, this is R* from yesterday. Did you just wake up?
Me: (half asleep) yes...
Man: How are you going work when you wake up so late?
Me: I'll wake up early when there's a job.

Then, he goes on saying how he wants to meet me for coffee so that he can explain it to me further about the jobs he offered. I told my friends and family about it and they were very worried that he will turn out to be one of those con man and I had those suspicions too.

He was pretty insistent for a while so I just went to visit one of his work events so that I can see what he's actually doing and I brought my little sister and cousin and Shurong too, in case anything fishy happens.

So I went and saw that there was tables filled with branded watches and he seemed pretty happy that I came and he told me about his part time workers there, how long they have worked for him and he how usually pays on the spot after the job is done. He kept insisting me to talk to his workers which were students around my age to validate that he's not some con man.

He brought to some Chinese restaurant nearby so that he can tell me more. He sort of shooed my sister, cousin and Shurong to go to another place so he could be alone with me. Then he treated me to lunch and I was like watching his every move in case he tries to put something into my drink or food. So while we're eating he was explaining to me about the type of jobs he did like promoting products, selling stuff in booths, workshops, roadshows and then he said the word ESCORTING.

I was like O_O.What kind of escorting you ask? Well, he said sometimes he will have very important clients coming over and they want a nice beautiful girl to accompany them for a day. Then, he said, this is not the type of escort that you usually heard of from those bars or clubs because my clients are very rich businessmen, the creme de la creme(however you spell it),the high society people with high buying power.

Man: The reason I really want you to work for me was because you can do a job as a promoter and as an escort.If you want fast money then you can earn about RM500-RM1000 per day if you work as an escort.
Me: Oh...ok...
Man: Not everyone can work as an escort and we will always train our girls before we send them to their jobs. So which job do you want to do first? Actually when you told me that your parents don't trust me,I got cold feet(In my head:Say what?-_-lll). I don't really like mummy's and daddy's girl to work for me cause they are not open enough to try new things or take risks.
Me: I would like to start slow and I'm pretty open minded but of course I still have to tell my parents what I'm doing right.
Man: I understand. I come from a conservative family. I was a Cambridge student also and I usually hire people that don't smoke and have good behavior so that if anything happens, my business license won't be revoked.
Me: Uh-huh...ok.

After lunch with him, we went back to the place where he's selling his watches and he had to go help adjust someone's watch strap so he was busy for a while then I went to do some investigating so I asked his part-time workers if he's a trust able person and the dude said, well, I'm just working here cause he pays the cash upfront but since you're a girl, I suggest you be a little careful. In my head, I was thinking, WHY ME?!. Then, R* came and he said, if you work for me you will learn business skills that they will never teach you in university and it will give you exposure to important people since you're studying journalism and networking is important for you when you want to interview an important person. My little sister called me at that moment to ask if I was ok and her called sorta helped me to get away from him. So I said gooodbye and told him I would tell my parents about it.

Meet up with my sister and the others at a nearby cafe and told them everything that happened and when they heard the word ESCORT, they were like O_O this too. Hahaha! Told my parents about it and they almost went bananas after they heard the word ESCORT. My mum said, He's a PIMP! DON'T CONTACT HIM ANYMORE!. I know it's a serious matter but their reactions are so funny. Hahaha!

I told R* that I can't work for him and he said he expected it but he hoped that we could go out to get some coffee someday and asked me to ask my friends if they are interested with the job offer. No way Jose that I am gonna let my friends work as escorts. I feel bad for ignoring but I did sense something fishy was going on as he was talking to me that day so I shall trust my intuition.

My god this is a really long post. I really hope that my story will help you guys to be more careful to whichever stranger that approaches you and ask you to do something that your heart is telling you not to do even if the money is very tempting. Just ignore the person even when the person calls and if that person is still persistent, go to the police. Of course, for my case, the dude is still trying to contact me and I'm ignoring it. Hopefully,he gives up and leaves me alone.

My dog killed a butterfly

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:38:00 +0000

I was not there when it happened but according to my little sisters, a small white butterfly flew into the house at night and my dog,Ding Ding was chasing it and stopped when it was standing on the wall.Then she used her paw and smashed that poor butterfly!For some reason,I think it's very cute cause it was not expected at all but also sad for the innocent butterfly.

How can a dog so cute like her kill an innocent butterfly with her paw?!

P.S:I think Ding Ding looks way better when the hair in front of her face is short.Not many dogs can look good with short hair or maybe I'm just biased.Hahaha!

Photo from Mexico!

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:28:00 +0000

Got a letter from Mexico yesterday and I knew it was from Regina cause she told me she was going send me something when we had our last Skype session last year,time passes fast when you least expect it!She sent me this beautiful picture she took when she was in New York for her part-time job in an art magazine.I really think she takes really beautiful pictures!Her pictures that she took when she was in Turkey are really beautiful too!You can check it out here in her Tumblr,unless you're Spanish or you can read Spanish then you will understand what's she blogging cause I can't even read or speak Spanish haha but I go there to look at her pictures.

Well,it's time for me to start replying her postcard!I have been procrastinating to send postcards to my friends and host families and it is because of Skyrim.Skyrim has taken over my lifeless life and also my duty as the driver for my little sisters.Skyrim is awesome,once you start playing it,you can never stop...XD

So how was Foster The People?

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:44:00 +0000

IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Samantha,me and Emily after the AWESOME concert!

I'm so surprised that they really sound much better than their CD live and their voices are not auto-tuned at all.If I knew they were that awesome,I would have bought the ticket closest to the stage!I went with my best friends since high school and I drove there and boy,we should have took the train cause the traffic was so bad and everyone was starving and we didn't have time to even eat.

The good thing about driving there was that we had a heart to heart conversation and updates and occasionally singing to some random song on the radio,it's moments like these that are worth the leg crams from stepping on the brakes all the way to KLCC.

I got their album on the spot before the concert and I got free badges so I gave one to Emily.Samantha immediately got their album after the concert cause she has been hooked by them.:)

Hopefully they will come back again and if they do I will get the most expensive ticket so that I will be closer to the stage and I can oogle at Cubbie and the 2 Mark's and also cause THEY ARE WORTH IT!XD.

Foster the People in 19 hours!

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:31:00 +0000

Yup,I'm gonna see Foster the People in 19 hours from now in the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre!I CAN'T WAIT!!!XD.I got my ticket(the cheapest one,but I AM HAPPY CAUSE I GET TO SEE THEM IN THE FLESH EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE FAR AWAY!:)) from a person who used to be my friend as a birthday gift.Thank you so much to that person!

I just found out that their concert tickets are sold out too!I hope this convinces them to come back to our little country that most parts of the world don't even know we exist.Now I shall sleep and dream about the concert tonight!Next morning,I have to think about what to wear to the concert.

Resolutions for 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Kye Lin) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:40:00 +0000

A quick look on the resolutions that I made in 2011 and how many that I managed to achieve.

2011 Resolutions!

~~-To be able to drive on my own!~~ Yup,I can finally drive on my own and not freak out as much when there's a roundabout or psycho drivers. All it took was driving practice on my own around my housing area and some really nice and patient friends who taught me to chillax while driving,much better than sitting in the car with my dad screaming at my side.

~~-Be more optimistic!~~ I guess the trip to Turkey last year really helped!:)
-Smile and laugh more!
-Make macaroons! Made it but it was so bad that I threw almost everything away and I almost had a nervous breakdown over it.Not gonna do it again.Now I just buy it from bakeries,less stressful and work that way.
-Get a new lomo camera!
~~-Use Blakhol more often!~~
-Get a branded lolita item!
~~-Get better results in Semester 2!~~ I got a D for Global Societies!It's my first D too so I am really happy about it!XD.I think my paper on Sweden gave me the marks.

~~-Make new friends and keep old friends!~~ I did make so many new friends and I still keep contact with my old friends!:)
~~-Procrastinate less!~~ Well,I didn't feel as stressed as last year and I actually made an effort to start early so it's a good thing,right?

That's the conclusion of 2011's resolution!Next is my 2012 resolutions!

2012 Resolutions

Travel to another country and meet new people there.
Sponsor a child through Unicef.
Find that special person.(This is due to peer pressure from the family,they just want to get me hitched so that my dad doesn't have to feed another person anymore.-_-lll)
Get an internship.
Give more and appreciate what I have.
Be more fashionable.
Get better grades.
Practice more capoeira.
Maintain relationships with family and friends.
Go to a big concert like MTV World Stage.(Cause I missed the one last year,hence I missed my chance to see Jared Leto in the flesh.T_T)
Sleep early to get rid of my dark circles.
Blog more.
Meet any of my favourite celebrities.(Please let it be Alexander Skarsgard,Chris Evans,Chris Hemsworth,Michael Fassbender,Jared Leto,and etc.)

So these are my current resolutions and I'll let the universe handle the situation cause I am just gonna enjoy the moment and if it happens then it would be awesome!XD.

I'm not really serious about my resolutions but I like the sense of achievement I get when I saw what I managed to achieve and I wasn't even thinking about it at all after blogging about it.

Just enjoy the moment and live your life to the fullest,don't focus too much on achieving your resolutions cause you'll be disappointed if you don't achieve any of your resolutions and when you're disappointed,you tend to think more negative stuff.

So as Rihanna sings or whines(as much as I hate her),LIVE YOUR LIFE!

Hiya!

It's 2012 already and the world did not end like the movie '2012' so YAY for that! My old blog is not gonna be deleted and you can read my really old posts from when I was an emo teenager till last year so click here to be redirected to there.

I made my own blog header using Photoshop(I am actually glad that they actually teach us how to use Photoshop in my course.) and I added a little dragon there to represent my surname and roots. I wanna give credit to the person who created the free font called Jellyka Delicious Cake and to the person who created the dragon font called HFF Chinese Dragon too cause I would never have the skill, creativity and generosity to even make the font and share it for free. I got them from dafont.com ,where you can download free fonts, there's lotsa nice fonts there.

I hope this blog will be memorable as time passes by.:)

My next post will be my so-called Resolutions for this year so wait for it!XD
