    Hello Internet :(
    This is going to be a depressing post so please go away if you are not interested thank you.

    Happy New Year's Eve everybody. 2013 is coming to an end and it truly has been a wonderful year. But sadly I have faced some sad situations that got me down in the dumps. Some of you or maybe none of you may know that I'm quite a crybaby. I cry easily to the littlest things, things that make me happy and things that make me sad. For a long time now, today I've cried my heart out on the last day of 2013.

    Last year's new year's eve, I cried because I've never seen or got to see the fireworks. This year I finally could but y'know what? Sh*t happens.

    I actually thought that 2014 will be the year that everything will fall into place. Being in the same class with my friends, studying the subject I wanted and have a fun life. My oh-so-strict mom finally let me not take Chinese. What happened is that I didn't get accepted in the class I wanted even though I had great results. Just because I had one little D ruined my chances of going to the class. One little D made the principal lowered me below the people who got less A's than me. THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS. ABSOLUTELY NONSENSE I TELL YOU.

    The only thing I have now is Hope. My mom sent in my D to get rechecked. And maybe some students from the Science class would drop out and it'll get me in. But if that doesn't happen, I may have to transfer schools. My friends are all up in mountains when I'm drowning in my lake of tears. The way they keep talking about it happily despises me. I didn't mean to but I can't control it. I'm really depress. What I'm focusing on right now is just two things:



    Half of my happy new year mood is gone.
    End of story. Mkay bye:(
    // I told myself I wouldn't cry after I told my mom about it. When my mom asked if I cried I went all out. I think I'll be pretty emo on the first day of school. Better not talk to me.

    Hello Internet! :)
    We had a prom on THE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT OF 2013 literally. Thumbs up to the seniors who thought of this brilliant idea (Y). I was preparing at home, but out of the blue, rain. Seriously? Luckily my dad was home to fetch me to Shyne-Ni's in the rain. I was ready to go out when I got criticized by my little brother for wearing sneakers to prom. Says the boy who wears almost the same shirt everyday. When I arrived, Samantha & Shyne-Ni were putting on makeup.

    "Did you do anything Juniper? Hair? Makeup?", Samantha asked.

    "None." I replied.
    "Ohh dear! Here! Let me help you! What do you want to put on? Eyeliner? Mascara?" said Shyne-Ni.
    "I don't know anything about makeup.. Just put anything on me that makes me look beautiful." I said.

    I live in a family where I'm the only daughter in the house and has a mom who doesn't try to teach or make her daughter look feminine. You can say I'm quite a tomboy who plays video games and stones at home all day. Thanks to the girls, makeup was applied and they said that I look gorgeous. Here we go to prom! It was hilarious when Shyne-Ni's mom kept insisting her to put on more lipstick to make her lips look red so that people could notice. We arrived and all the girls were wearing HIGH HEELS and looked so hot compared to me. I was hoping to see people in sneakers but it didn't happen. We ran to the toilet to hide from the crowd. We mustered up some courage and walked out. But we did it for like three times. Everyone looked super stunning! Carmen came and we talked about if should we go back home or hide in the toilet for the whole prom. We managed to walk into the hall like a boss. I finally met Foong for the first time, it was a funny introduction indeed.


    Me & the girls were looking for a table to sit. We stumbled upon our same age friends but there wasn't any place and I felt like we weren't exactly welcomed to the A-B class group so we left and found another table near the stage. We are the wallflowers after all. The first act was "A Thousand Years" performed by the band. They're amazing:). No one dared to go on the dance floor same as us. Me & Shyne-Ni tried hard to support them by singing the songs loudly. We ate delicious pasta and meat but the thing that annoyed me was when that certain person came to "hang out" with Samantha. He couldn't even be nice to her friends. I was seriously offended. Sorry that I can't get myself to like you, you gave me a bad first impression. Thank God Samantha's isn't just pretty but smart to not fall for that guy's charms. He disgusts me I'm sorry. Apart from that, I loved the whole party. I danced like no tomorrow! My moves were pretty cool ahaha but most of the time we were just jumping like kangaroos. Half of the songs I recommended were played. Especially the slowdance songs. The more I listen to it, the more sadder I get. I wish I had a boyfriend to dance to the song "Can I have this dance" by High School Musical. I'd sing to him:


    Take my hand, take a breath,

    Pull me close and take one step,
    Keep your eyes locked on mine,
    And let the music be your guide.

    I kept looking at him whilst listening to the song:

    It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding someone like you,
    It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do,
    And with every step together, we just keep on getting better,
    So can I have this dance, Can I have this dance?

    Hoping he'd come to me and ask: "Can I have this dance with you?" I was fantasizing and thought to myself "I hope he comes but I don't think he will but I really hope so." In the end he didn't. Aww wells~ I hope fate will let us meet each other again. At least I got to dance with some boys. I was even forced to dance with that certain person that I don't like and gotten taken photos of. Ughh burn them with fire! "Everything has changed" by Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift came on. That's when I started, I really want a boyfriend to fulfill my romance wishes right now. Samantha slowdanced with four boys that night, that's how popular she is. Me & Shyne-Ni hang out backstage where it was quiet. It was a good friendship moment. I couldn't say this was my perfect prom but it was fun. I regretted not taking photos with people there when I said I would. I'm gonna miss all of the Form 5's. They really made prom awesome.


    I got a prize from prom too! Turns out it was a notebook. Thanks. I liked it but not entirely. I ask for too much. But really I'm thankful. Congratulations to prom king, Foong & queen, May Jean. Prom really got me tired when I went home. I felt like I danced too much that I can almost pass out. It was wonderful :)


    PHOTO SESSION:

    I like this photo the best

    Prom Queen: May Jean
    Isn't she lovely?

    I was hoping to feel like Emma Watson at prom but when I saw the picture. Mehh close enough. Mkay bye:)

    Hello Internet! :)
    Sorry for the delay. I was procrastinating AGAIN. I wanted to write this on Thursday but y'know what happened *whispers* procrastinationnn

    On Thursday, I got what everyone was working hard for, the purpose for studying this year, PMR results yayyy *sarcastic cheer*. It was disappointing when they specifically said they'd announced the results at 10 am but instead they changed it to 11 am because they haven't arranged their files yet. They made me waste one hour at school but it was nice to see friends again after such a long time. Due to my contagious awkwardness, it didn't turn out what I pictured, in my head was like:




    News is I got 6A's. Yes I know that the result isn't bad but I can't help to feel like everyone isn't proud of my achievement here. First off my mom was at work so she told me to tell her my results as soon as I get them. And what I got is: "6A's? So are you happy?" What a mood breaker. One by one, aunties, uncles calling and asking: "How many A's did Jing Lin get?". I got frustrated, and once again I rant in all on Twitter. Twitter is my best friend. Comfort letters came in, looks like I wasn't the only one. They're sweet people. My mom saw my sad face and started saying: "You tried your best, you got better than during the trials! I'm happy for you." A small smile appeared on my face. Even one little sweet word gets me happy. Thanks mom <3


    And also! I helped Samantha to create a blog! You should check her out. She writes like a little cute 6-year-old. http://samxanchor.blogspot.com/


    By the way, Christmas is coming but I'm having weird-ass emotional problems. i don't know why. I should probably throw away all these insecure feelings and celebrate Christmas! Hooray! And thank you to Samantha for giving me an early Christmas present, She's so lovable and thoughtful. She's like our Santa Claus hahaha wonderful.

    That's all I have to say. Have a great Christmas and I can't wait for Prom!

    Mkay bye:)

    Hello Internet! :)

    So what's everybody up to? Partying? Traveling? Hanging out? Or like me sitting in front of the computer blogging while listening to Maroon 5?

    OKAY CONFESSION TIME.

    I'm living a lifeless life like literally. I am so bored. At the start of the holidays, I was already describing how life was after PMR to my mom. Obviously it was a free life but what to do in this free life? I felt like my life had no purpose anymore. Planned a lot but not doing them. What a waste of a nice holiday. I was really hoping for someone to plan an awesome outing.

    By the way, I bought a dress (WHAT?). I hardly buy dresses but it's for prom so yeah. Prom dress, done in my checklist. I'm gonna wear it with my converse cause I don't exactly wear heels. Hope to look beautiful on the day and maybe a dance too? That'd be nice. Let's spend the last Friday night of 2013 like no tomorrow! And also, PMR results are announced this Thursday. Oh snap. I'm terrified, nervous and at the same time excited. I pray to God that I'll pass my results with flying colours and that my hard work paid off. Fingers crossed. One more thing, me and the family went for a buffet dinner at Swiss Gardens. I just wanted to say how hilarious it was when my cousin dropped her cupcake "beautifully".


    Did you hear? That Egypt snowed? Is this suppose to be a miracle or a disaster?
    It would be amazing if Malaysia snowed! My sweaters and jackets can finally be in use. We could make snow angels and snow mans. Wear ear muffs and beanies. Watch my first snow with my beloved friends. Roast marshmallows and make s'mores. Snuggle indoors and drink hot cocoa. I can already imagine it.

    Mkay bye:)

    Hello Internet! :)
    I'm usually not like this but I think I'm getting sober day by day. I'm a so called happy-go-lucky person. I don't know what happened to me. I thought it would go back to normal but instead it's gradually getting worse. I feel like this right now:



    I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME.

    Last time I didn't liked those hipster music like Lana Del Rey, Birdy, Last Dinosaurs & The xx, but now I find them as good music. what is wrong with me. Do you know the term "Sad is happy for deep people"? I think I'm starting to get the meaning. someone help me. Right now I am stuck in a vortex of confusion with two portals beside me that says "You" and "Another side of you you didn't know". I also realized that I'm kind of giving up on life. I gave up on making friends. I'm not special to anyone. I'm just ordinary. It's better to be alone. She's too good for me. She doesn't even care. Why should I?

    People would ask: Hey why don't we invite her?

    Me: Okay.
    But actually on the inside,
    Me: Why should we? She has her own friends she should hang with them.
    I know I'm horrible.

    The Hipster inside me is awakening. I'm starting to hate everybody when I'm in a bad mood. I hate looking at other people's "perfect" lives and yet they call it horrible. People would probably hate me for saying this but once I start hating everybody, above all their heads would pop out one word about their flaws like: Jealousy, Selfish, Arrogant, Show-off, Drama queen etc. I'm sorry I'm out of control of my brain. I think I'm craving for a "perfect happy" life that other people have. I'm always wearing a mask, a fake smile, but in my heart, i'm crying, i'm burning with fury, i'm miserable.

    I hate that you're:

    Perfect
    Tricking me with your sweet words
    Making me forgiving you so easily
    Making me hate you
    Making me not hate you
    Making me wait for your replies
    Treating me like everybody else
    Making me ask for too much
    Making me care for you too much
    Making me smile so easily
    Everything I need

    Mkay bye:(

    Hello Internet! :)
    I feel so wonderful today. Why you ask? Cause today's date is so beautiful it makes my mood happy for some reason. By the way, I got a touching reply for my last post from my dear friend Shyne-Ni! (http://tissueshoulder.blogspot.com). I'm glad you liked my message and thanks for the pretty drawing, I liked the chicken haha. 

    Recently I came back from my granny's place at Kedah. 6 hour drive from here oh my god. My trip to Bangkok was cancelled due to the election but I still managed to go to Hatyai, Thailand. Since Thailand is just above Kedah, it was no problem at all. Here are the few things I got from the trip:

    Epop's 2014 Calender
    I got this at one of Kedah's markets. Even though the book was Malay version, the calender really caught my eye and I know I will NEVER EVER buy the book at Selangor cause the only place available to buy it is in book shops. So I bought it. I'm really satisfied with the calender! All my favourite kpop stars are in there. All handsome and beautiful. I'll be seeing their faces every month.

    Grandmother's self-made bag
    My granny's really talented with these self-made stuff. She can make the pattern out of any candy wrapper or packets. My mom brought some home to sell. If you want one, come and find me :)

    Black converse shoes
    Here's the highlight. I've been waiting for two freaking years to get these shoes and I finally got them from Hatyai. They're so pretty I love them so much. Can I collect them all? We were at Hatyai with my aunt and cousins. Once I bought them, my cousins one by one started to buy it too! Mwahaha I told you they're not just ordinary sneakers mom! I'm gonna wear them frequently now!

    That's all I have to say. Have a happy holiday! Happy 11/12/13.
    Mkay bye:)

    Happy Happy Birthday to my beloved friend, Shyne-Ni.

    Can you believe it? That our friendship lasted from kindergarden to high school? It's amazing. We've been together for maybe 10++ years? 

    I still remember how we first met. We've met each other on the first day of elementary school. Our moms brought us to our classes and on the way we were like:

    " Hey! Oh my god Hello! *waves* "
    " Hiiii! *waves back* "
    " Hey mom. I think I know her. "

    And we separated, going into different classes but ended up on the same bus. We got to know each other more, realizing that we just lived apart from one block away. You make my years in elementary happy. We weren't exactly best buds until standard three when we got into the same class. I was sitting next to you and the popular girl. I was so attracted to her and ignored you. You even thought I talked bad about you behind your back. Ignored each other for a week. We made up. Then the popular girl started treating me like a maid, having a rivalry with me. No one was with me except you. I will always be grateful for what you did. I thank god for giving me such a wonderful friend.

    When high school started, you changed a lot. You changed so much that you're the weirdest person I've ever met, but I like that. Weird people are good for the world. You wanted to be a hippie (like what the hell man haha). Even though I never once got into the same class with you, we still got to walk home together talking about "how was your day?". We even made a friend, Carmen and now we're idiots splashing water at each other after exams.

    To summarize it all, you're a great friend. And once again, Happy Birthday you sexy potato. I hope our friendship will last forever with the gang. In the future, we'll all turn into aunties talking about life and having tea parties. For your birthday present, I really have no idea what to give you so just tell me what you want, I'll try and get it :)


    Good luck in the future. Fingers crossed all of us will be able to end up in the same class next year. I Love You. Sisters Forever. xoxo.

    Mkay bye:)

    *pictures will be inserted when I meet the birthday girl*



    We should do this sometime!

    Hello Internet ! :)
    Yup it's me again. Yello ! I was winter-cleaning my computer, deleting old files and photos. I so happened to stumble upon some really beautiful memories and I want to share it with everyone. It's not much cause I wasn't a photogenic person until I got an Instagram but I don't want to keep them in this computer. Might as well put them here and I can check back whenever I want. Let's start shall we?

    2010:

    Our Form 1 years when we were still freshman. We were all cutesy. We swam at the club and it was so much fun ! I still remember how scared Samantha was when we went to the deep pool, she's hydrophobic. Actually I did plan to go with Samantha to teach her swimming but thanks to my family and their sudden plans we couldn't go :(
    * Shyne-Ni with her master skills at camwhoring *

    2011:

    Life in 2C was one of my best years in high school. I actually felt like I belong somewhere. It was the first time we ever had that "boys & girls in one whole group" feel. Our class was famous for its naughtiness and randomness. The whole class will sing randomly when a person sings a sentence from a song haha! We also had our song "情人", it's lover in English. Even the teachers sing it LOL. The 4 chinese girls, Me, Mun, Karen & PeiWen also sang korean songs in the class. We'll make up our own games and play as a group with the boys. I wish I could go back to those times. We even went for an outing. PeiWen doesn't really go for outings cause she doesn't want to take selcas with us :((. Me & Karen are besties but now I think my relationship with Mun is a little distant but I still love her as my dongsaeng<3 I miss her lots :*



    Chinese Society Annual Dinner Party:
    I was so "wow"-ed at the fact we get to dress pretty for the event and eventually I attended it for the first time. I do regret that my dress wasn't pretty but I wasn't girly at the time. I had my first ever polaroid picture with Yong Ni ! The performances were amazing but I never got to take pictures with anyone cause my phone was fugly :(. That picture with Mun with Sylvester is so cute I just had to keep it. I hope they're relationship stays. STOP THE HATIN' AND START THE LOVIN' YOU GUYS!


    2013:

    The tuition life. This is one of my favourite pictures cause I look good in it (LOL). I've tuition there for almost all my life. Pei Wen and Shi Kei leveled up the fun meter at the tuition center. With the other girls too, we always gossip about others and talk about our problems. We even rebelled the teacher. We couldn't stand when the teacher gossips lies about all of us to everyone and so we all changed to a different tuition center (hooray). It was such a drama. It was my first time at a different tuition center and now I love it there. They're still with me of course ! But I'm still always the quiet girl at the side cause I'm awkward. I'll enjoy life there till I graduate.





    Cameron Trip:
    I was lucky enough to convince some gal pals to come with me to Cameron! This memory is really the sweetest. All 13 girls together sleeping in a dorm and hanging out. The first day was really awkward until the afternoon we decided to have some girl talk. And we talked for like maybe one or two hours. The second day we decided to do it again cause of how fun it was but turns out we have nothing to talk about (LOL). Few minutes later, we started to chat and play games till two in the morning. Lots of pictures ! Took pictures with the seniors too. It was so so fun! I hope we'll do this again next year :>

    That's all the sweet photos I have on my computer. I really enjoyed my three years with all of them and I hope our friendship will last forever.
    Mkay bye:)

    Hello Internet! :)
    A month has passed, time sure flies quickly. I kinda regret that I didn't exactly spend my November well. No one planning for outings, no parties, no nothing. This is a sad case and I'm not going to do the same thing with December! :(

    Instead of snowing, Malaysia is currently raining almost everyday. How I wish to see the first snow in other countries. If I were in other countries I bet I could wear my favourite sweaters every single day. Too bad so sad, like that's gonna happen.


    The first day of December was already bad for me. I was supposed to be in Bangkok right now but who knew the election coincidentally was up. We were still going for it until the news reported that people threw bombs, 3 people dead and 37 injured. My hopes at the moment were like *brrang* shattered.. That trip was my shopping trip to finally buy all the things I want: my prom dress, my converse, my vans, my dream catcher, my clothes, and any other awesome stuff :____: (life is so cruel)


    By the way, Christmas is coming. Even though I don't celebrate it, I just felt like Christmas is fun and I wanna celebrate it with friends. And after Christmas comes prom. Oh my gosh I am so excited but I am still in need of a pair of converse and a dress. I've been working with my dad and got paid (hooray). Looks like I'm doing online shopping.


    In the middle of writing this post, I went out and played with my neighbour's cat. I got clawed. Is December not my month either? I'm not gonna believe that.

    Mkay bye:)


    Sweaters + shorts/ skinny jeans = Beautiful


    Perfect season for gloves, earmuffs & beanies !
