March Rants

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 12:41:00 +0000

Now this is a major improvement. One month equals one post. Hahahaha.

Its march. And I haven't done anything to my thesis. Its untouched since January.

There's only 1 explanation. L.A.Z.Y. Like major lazy. The abominal snowman lazy of all lazies around the world. (lazies? Is that even a word lol).

Im not sure why Im not so motivated to do it. My mum contanstly always ask me to finish it.

I just dont feel like it. Maybe I should consult a doctor. Maybe Im having those 26 years old random mood swings whoaretoolazytofinishherlastwork.

~~Can some1 please shoot me. x.x~~

At least the Chibi is cute. ~_~

Work has become so BURDENING. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I can barely keep up with it. Im pissed off. Im mad. Im burning with rage. Im exhausted. Im tired. Wait. I really want is a vacation.

Scratch of Japan from the list*. Lets pray for Japan. :(

I think I just tour around Sabah. Maybe pick up some places near the beach. Oh wait. I can't. Tsunami might hit the beaches. Argh damn you Tsunami. U ruin everything. Believe it or not. Im not going to tour around or buy stuffs. All I want to sleep on a bed peacefully (not r.i.ip damn u). Just want to relax and strecth my arms and have nothing to do. And wake up...

Gahaha if only it was true.

Yeah. Im still a manga freak. Nerd. Dork. Whatever u stereotypes call us. I read a couple of new mangas (though there have been scanlated earlier). Such as 1/2 prince, Barajou no kiss, Code Breaker, 07-Ghost (My fav :P), Oumagadoki Dousb blabla (too long too remember) and a few manga I cant really remember. I might miss a few chapters.

.....................................................

Now that sucks. My memory is getting low. Urgh. Must because of the pau i chewed down during lunch.

My post is totally random. Hurm quite a dilemma. Usually bloggers just focus on 1 /2 issues. Oh well, what the heck. Its mine. And its free. lol.

Did I mention that im loving Girl's Day newest song. Twinkle!. Here's the vid~

Im digging the school outfits. Kawaii desu. :D

Im not too old for kpop :P.

I guess dats all. :D!

# I still have my korean contact lens business. So far business have been good.

Do Not Annoy The Monkey

Hiatus

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 12:38:00 +0000

I've been hiatus for so long. Its not that im lazy. I just have nothing to write something in my blog.

My 2nd sister passed away on 21st January 2010. One minute I was brushing her teeth, and then she just...
I always watch these movies about someone who just passed away right in front of our eyes, I didnt realize it will happen to me.The feelings that i feel at that time. It was indescribable.

I saw her lips become pale and numb. Suddenly her body didnt move at all. I notice that her breathing has stopped. I quickly carried her to my room and put her on our bed. I shook her and called out " Neni Neni". But she doesnt open her eyes.

I called mummy and she woke up. I said " Neni, she didnt want to wake up".

Mummy cried and carry her in her arms, " Neni, you didnt even say goodbye".

Thats when it hit me. Neni is already gone. She did leave us. Without any sign or goodbye. I was screaming my head off. I didnt believe it. I DID NOT want her to leave. I was crying non-stop.

I cant really write what happen afterwards. Im still shocked about it.It feels wierd waking up every morning not seeing her face anymore. I cant kiss her on the check or even touched her hair.

I cant really write anything about it.
Im sorry.

My New Contact Lens : Japan Barbie

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:36:00 +0000

I was so excited today.I just received my Japan Barbie Eye contact lens today :P. Bought it for only RM50 + free postage from an awesome blogshop. It comes with a cute packaging box that can hold the vial inside.The lens vial was also cutesy with cartoon faces on it.Talk about kawaii package lol.

Based on the what is printed on the box , this is the information of the contact lens :

Diameter : 15.8mm

Base Curve : 8.60mm

Water content : 48%

I took the liberty to take photos before ~~i yanked open the vials xD~~

Comes with a pink + black box

Behind the box

Cute anime cartoon faces on the vials .So cute right ^^

Even the cover of the vial lens are pink with cute pictures on it.

This is how it looks like.So big right?

My verdict :

I tried it on and it was so ~~super comfy~~. Compare with the my geo angel blue , japan barbie contact lens are easy to use and easily to remove from my eyes.

I ~~didn't face~~ with any irritation or itchiness nor red eyes.

I do have the problem figuring out which side is the front and back lol. ( i think this is my personal problem xD )

And yes, it does make ~~my eyes bigger~~ since the diamater is 15.8mm.For those who wants the enlarging effect , i suggest you to take the black colour.

My satisfaction - 8/10 .

Now i can go minta puji with my new contact lens during the new year lol.

I wont take pictures since im not good taking pictures of myself.Will try to upload it if im feeling to camwhoring which i seldom feel like lol.

* minta puji - Showing off

Merry Christmas!

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:50:00 +0000

First of all , I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010!

This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone by Taylor Cadwell

Ironic much.Sorry for my outburst of typing , but this is what i feel right now about christmas. Ironic + awkward. No happiness , no joy , no fun and definately not feeling any bonding signal this year. Im not prying for sympathy or even trying to pour out my sadness about this , but i feel dissapointed.

Maybe i should join Buddha instead?

Nah maybe not , mummy will kill me.

When i think about Christmas , these things will popped out from my head : presents, christmas trees, food , santa clause , and parties.

Have you ever imagined a christmas without these things?. Will it still be consider christmas?. As I recall, christmas is a time for family to gather and celebrate together. So what is there is no presents or chrimassy trees,the important thing is family.

Always. Family.

And i ain't feeling like that right now.

I really miss Nenek. :( and I know my mum miss her dearly too.

Oh crap i feel tears stinging my eyes. Logging off right now.

Before that, enjoy this video.My all tiem favorite xmas song :).

Summer Melody

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:25:00 +0000

Summer Melody.Nice name right?.Haha.I just dload some Cool songs.Seriously,the group name is Cool from Korea.I love their happy feeling songs.Makes me feel all cuddly and happy.Hahaha.

My life is just the same.Still busy with tutoring kids and classes.Im getting more closer to my students.Somehow,i understand a bit about a teacher's job.Its not easy to motivate your students.Especially doing it all year long.As for students,they should take a break once for a while.Some of my students are so stressed out because they were busily attending tuition everyday.Everyday!.Wow,thats like hardcore studying.Some of them ends up sleeping during my classes because they were so tired the day before.

I feel a great deal of satisfied because most of my students manage to pass their weaker subjects which they often fail year after year.I feel like all my hardwork has been payed off.

As for my studying,i have only 2 semester left to complete my studies.It means next year im going to wear that square thingy hat with some oversize robe xD! .Cant wait! Yeehaa!!

Drat is raining heavily!.Curse this abomincal weather!

Im so Over You :)

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:14:00 +0000

Its been 6 months after my breakup.I learn a lot from the experience.I've been busy with my life and my friends are awesome for giving me the support that i needed.Thanks guy and i love u guys so much :). Remembering back to the piece of crap i wrote a couple months ,

"Im going to tell this very truthfully.I don't want him to disappear from my life forever.I maybe lose my lover,but i don't want to lose my best friend."

I slapped my forehead for a few times.Did i actually wrote this shit?.Haha.Ann was right.Time does heal.Im biting back my own words.Thanks darl =).

And now i realize i can live without him.It gives me a sense of freedom.
Welcome to the world of singlehood Loren.
Haha.Suddenly that merges inside my mind.No more crying,no more waiting for sms/calls which wont be coming and most of all...no more being ignored!!! ^^.

And i know the perfect song to prove my point :)

* edit a bit of my picture.I look wierd =.= *

Chris Daughtry - Over You

Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say,
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of other’s opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for meee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you

And I never saw it coming
I should have started running
I’m finally getting better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!

The day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you…

Im so over u right now :).

Woah

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:59:00 +0000

Honey Honey

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:33:00 +0000

Don't mind me.I'm not referring to anyone.Its just one of my favourite Korean song.
Gosh haven't been blogging for a while.Bit caught up with tutoring.My students are increasing.More to teach,more to learn.

Now,class is starting.With a very nice head start.I got a serious and strict tutor to begin with.Now,I'm fumbling with my notes,assignments and some bloody presentation that i will or have to perform.Since my tutor will pick us randomly.

My left eyes hurts like hell!.It started to get redness.Gotta see the doctor a.s.a.p.I don't feel very comfortable with it. Gah!

About the books i ordered,I read all the books already except "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken".I manage to read until section 2.I realize there is more hard heartbreaking breakups than mine.

I know this will sounds crazy.But i actually love the song " The Climb " by Miley Cyrus.If u laugh reading this nanak,i will kick ur ***.Haha!

One of the lyrics i love to listen ;)

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

Do u have the feeling that u wanted something so badly,but u didn't know what it is?.Sounds wierd huh.Im being having this feeling since..i can't remember.=x

That's all.=D

Super Junior ITS YOU MV!!!

Books!

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Fri, 08 May 2009 00:31:00 +0000

Despite being busy with my tutoring and handling my online business,i still have time to shop around online looking for cheap books!The books i have order hasn't arrived yet.Perhaps by next week it will arrive.I'm using the cheapest delivery method i can use.That is registered post.Hahaha ( pinch penny :P )

Im a big fan of historical romance.The 19Th century kind ;).I love the imaginations in those time periods,really lovely indeed.

Cost me RM23 including shipping^^
Bought at lowyat~

Title: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken
Author: Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

Do u believe i got this for free??
YES! I did.A kind angel decided to give away her items for free at lowyat.
I managed to snag this right away * winks *
Cost : Free! I only need to pay RM8 for shipping :)
Its a hardcover book. :D!

Here's the synopsis :

Synopsis:

This new self-help tome from Greg Behrendt, stand-up comedian and co-author of the bestselling book He's Just Not That Into You, offers guidance for those experiencing the heartache that accompanies the end of a romantic relationship. This time around, Greg's co-author is his wife, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, with each of them calling on their past expertise as the "dumpee" in the breakup of a major relationship. Having been there, done that, the authors are genuinely sympathetic about just how painful the loss of a relationship can be, yet at the same time, the provide an oft-necessary "kick in the pants" on the road to recovery.

The book has two main parts: "The Breakup," which centers around coming to terms with the reality that the relationship is truly over, and "The Breakover," which focuses on coping with this new reality. In Part 1, each chapter contains several of general information, a question and answer section, a reassuring segment about "The Best Worst News," Greg's reflections on "What I Did Wrong" when his ex-girlfriend picked up and moved cross-country to be with another man, and Amiira's thoughts about "How I Got Through It" (concerning the breakup of her first marriage). These chapters end with a workbook segment offering simple exercises, questionnaires, and even recipes, and finally, the "Psycho Confessional"--in other words, mistakes that you want to avoid during your own breakup.

Part 2 of the book centers around seven "Breakup Commandments," a list of very strongly recommended suggestions such as "No Backsliding!" For each commandment, the authors offer practical advice for following through, journal exercises (which they recognize might be dreaded yet persistently maintain will be helpful), more reflections from Greg in the form of "Dude, I Know What You're Thinking," details on how to handle special circumstances (such as working together or kids together), and finally, information from over 500 breakup surveys conduct by the authors, including highlights from the worse breakups ever.

It should be clear from the description above that the authors infuse plenty of humor into their work. Although the line between being funny and empowering versus funny and belittling can be a fine one, happily, the authors fall well on the side of the former. One of their main goals is to help the reader recognize that she is a "Superfox" who deserves better than the guy who dumped her. Given that the book, with its subtitle of "The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy," is geared mainly to women, other endearments, all intended to provide the breakup victim with a much-needed self-esteem boost, include "Pretty Lady" and "Hot Stuff." However, as Greg makes clear from his own story, either sex can be the one that gets dumped.

Therefore, the authors encourage guys to read the book too, or at least the bonus chapter "Dude, Get Off Her Lawn." For men or women stuck in post-breakup purgatory, this book might be just what they need to set themselves free.
Overall, the main point of It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken is that the breakups are like a serious illness which is undeniably painful yet completely curable. With empathy, wisdom, and wit, the authors give the reader plenty of hope that she can pass through the destruction and devastation left by her former, broken relationship and embrace the wonderful new life waiting for her in the future.

I will reviews to all the books i read later~.

Until now,ciao~

Ungrateful?

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:15:00 +0000

Is it me or am i going to be extremely childish when i write this post.

Let me introduce myself.

Me,Lorraine,24 years old

and my sister

Sister,16 years old

Here's the story.

I bought a Sejarah NEXUS Form 4& 5 for my tuition and also for my sister.Since i have only 1 student that takes Sejarah from me,so i will use the book once a week only.

Since my sis doesnt have Sejarah reference book,so i think it will be best if we share.I wont mind because its for her own good of education.

Little did i know what she said to me makes me blows up in front of my students.

I told her she can use the book for her studies.I dont mind if she scribble or highlight here and there.

Guess what she says?

" Is this the SUKSES edition?.Ala NEXUS tu.I like sukses.You use it la for your tuition.I buy my own or use my own textbook ".

WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO??.ITS JUST THE SAME BUNCH OF FACTS AND PICTURES!!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I purposely bought this book because it has an awesome mind maps that she really likes to read.
I bought it with my own earning money from tutoring kids.

Me,with a very generous heart willing to help her

and she gives me this???

Seriously this days,kids are getting ungrateful!.

I should save my money and bought a laptop than salvage myself with her ungrateful words.

Im hurt -_-

Red Eye On Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 05:18:00 +0000

On 19th April 2009 i turned 24 years old.Gah,im old.I dont feel old.Its just..okey i feel old. -_-.I don't celebrate my birthday ;).I don't really fancy those birthday parties.Don't get me wrong.I have birthday parties when i was a kid,now i feel just like " as long as im breathing,in doing okey".

One thing i hate is that i caught the "red eye" infection on this truly day.Haihs.Its spreading like wildfire in Keningau.I won't post pictures of my eyes,because it looks so gross and scary.

Have u seen a dead fish?.Now,lets focus on its eyeballs.Red right?.

Thats how my eyes looks like now.

Got the picture?.Haha.

Okey for now.~Gotta go~.My eyes are getting puffy.I feel like a mutant -_-.

Saving All My Love For You

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:14:00 +0000

A truly beautiful song by Whitney Houston.When i listen to this song,a vivid imagination appear in my head,me dancing with a handsome guy with this song.Haih..macam dream pula.hehe.

Here it is!

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
For tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you

My Bucket List

noreply@blogger.com (Lorraine) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:48:00 +0000

Have you guys watch "The Bucket List" movie yet?.Its truly a sad story.Here's a short story of it taken at Wikipedia.

Blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman) and billionaire hospital magnate Edward Cole (Nicholson) meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with cancer. They become friends as they undergo their respective treatments. Carter is a gifted amateur historian and family man who had wanted to become a history professor, but in his youth had been "broke, black, and with a baby on the way" and thus never rose above his job at the McCreath body shop. Edward is a four-times-divorced healthcare tycoon and cultured loner who enjoys nothing more than tormenting his personal valet/servant, Matthew (Hayes), whom he calls Thomas. He makes Matthew serve Carter as well as him and orders his employee and doctor (Morrow) to familiarize himself with Carter's health.

Carter begins writing a "bucket list," or things to do before he "kicks the bucket." After hearing he has less than a year, Carter wads it up and tosses it on the floor. Edward finds it the next morning. He urges Carter to do everything on the list (suggesting he add things like skydiving) and offers to finance the trip. Carter agrees, despite the protests of his wife, Virginia (Todd).

Basically its a list of things u want to do before u "hit the bucket" or die.Inspired by the movie,i too will type down my bucket list :).

1. Travelling to France and visiting Paris!

2. Walking on The Big Wall Of China

3. Travelling around Sabah

6. Going to Super Junior concerts!

7. Watching flowers of sakura bloom in Japan

8. ~~Meeting a royalty family/member~~

9. Buying a handphone using my own money.

10. Visiting Korea and sample their food as well

Fcking Moments :

2. I found a blog where a camwhore fugly girl cursed her own Mum!.The reason why : Because her mum wont let her go Australia to further her studies.The only reason this fugly b*tch wants to be there : Because her boyfriend is there.

Sheesh can't she study for herself and not following other people around like a dog?.That is not the reason to curse her own mum.Ungrateful spoiled brat.Ptuiih!
