So a friend was telling me about this milkshake he had in town and my first reaction was "milkshake? I haven't had one in ages!" I also haven't thought about having one in ages too. Till he showed me this place... ShakeAway is a milkshake shop hidden in one of the alleys of Broad Street, Reading town. Honestly my first impression was that it seemed a bit dodgy because the alley seemed a bit dark

I used to make a long list of things I want to do and accomplish as my new year resolution. But over the years I realised that after 3 months or so I had completely forgotten about it and the next thing you know I was regretting having done so.  So I told myself that this year I'll just have one resolution that I will try my best to stay serious about. Like I said, there's plenty I want to do and

Upon arriving back to England, I was greeted with these beautiful colourful tulips (my favourite flowers!) And I thought to myself, it's much colder now, I'm far away from my family again, back to reality. But it's alright, because I have these flowers to lift my spirits. And then I looked at the person who gave me these flowers and I smiled because well, my favourite person gave me my favourite

So I spent Christmas week in London with RS and besides taking advantage of the christmas/boxing day sales, I made it a point that I would meet up with some friends I hadn't seen in ages.  And they all had one thing in common: they're from KTJ!  Starting from hers truly, RS. Reunited after 1 month, in London. Wee! (see this for our first reunion) We made sure we grabbed the two things we love;

2012 is just a few hours away. Time for 2011's last blogpost! - 2011 and 2012 are trending on twitter and I thought to myself, instead of a tweet, I shall blog about it.  If I had to describe 2011 in just 1 word I'd without a doubt say that it has been exciting.  Honestly, everyday seemed exciting. I moved into another house temporarily while my current house was being renovated. I then moved

Andd I'm home!  The start of my holidays have been real good, spending it in London with favourites, meeting up with friends I haven't seen in ages, shopping and exploring the city. Shall blog more about this later :) - First 2 weeks of winter break are up and now I'm back in KL to spend the remaining 2 weeks at home. I know these 2 weeks are going to pass by fast (just like how these previous 2

Sigh, boys will never understand a girl's (a shopaholic?) need to buy...essentials!  - And hey, it's not about how big or how many bags you have, but if you've bought the right stuff.

Remember this? Well these past 2 weeks have brought in more surprises in the mail.  And they came in the nicest wrapped packaging too! Definitely put a smile on my face when I received them. 2 weeks back I received this... Something from AZ! Love the packaging! All festive and christmas-y :) And as I walked back to my room after collecting the parcel, feeling the packaging, trying to figure out

Some time last week, amidst being caught up with work, I decided to take a break and step out for dinner with Nabila, my senior. It was really nice 'cos I hadn't seen her in a while (and we live across each other!) so we had plenty to update each other with. It was also nice 'cos I was trying something new and actually stepping out of campus rather than eating at the usual canteen place near my

1. The sun, the heat, the warmth There's still an occasional show of sun, but as the days go by and autumn approaches winter, as lovely as the appearance of the sun may be, it is still cold and chilly which marks the difference compared to back home. Back home it is always hot and mostly bright.  2. Clothing and attire  And because it is always hot and mostly bright, I never really have to worry

Food, fun & family/friends. Your essential three F's to a good time really. Last weekend, that was a 1hr 45min ride, across the border in Cardiff, Wales! That's right, considering that Abang and Aliaa are there for the next year doing their masters, I now have an excuse to go to Cardiff. And it's great because people there are real nice, there's plenty of history, city is vibrant, shopping is

Who doesn't love receiving mail? OK, not those frequent bank statements *gulps*, but those occasional and unexpected letters and parcels that leave you surprised and touched. Like... Cards from loved ones :) or a book you've ordered from Amazon. Hey, anticipating the arrival of my law book excites me ok.  or even better, receiving a parcel that's not for you! -_- Thomas Pink...no one buys it

It's November, 1 month into my 2nd year and stay in England, 1 month till major assignments are due! Oh and it's November...meaning I haven't blogged for about 20 days now! Sorry to those who keep wondering when I'm going to update! - Autumn has truly kicked in. Come November and it get's dark by 4-5pm everyday.

Nothing excites me more than seeing an adorable cat. Especially when they're fat and furry!  - While on a visit to Norwich, I was walking back from town to a friend's house and out of nowhere, the left of my eye spotted a big round ginger furry thing at the gate of this small house and I don't know why but I jumped in shock. I was startled to see this big furry ginger persian cat staring up at me

Hello from England! I know. I've finally blogged. After so many failed attempts to blog, I have finally got myself to sit down, take a deep breath and...blog. Yes, a deep breath. All I've been doing this last week is running around, running errands, buying stuff, meeting people and getting to know my new surrounding. By the time I come back to my room to settle down, I'm tired and ready to

So my eldest brother is leaving KL today for... . . . Cardiff!  That's right. Greens, bilingual friendly citizens and a business school! He is 1 year away to graduating with an MBA. How exciting! It is even more exciting for him because he will be returning to 'school' after having graduated 4 years ago. Returning to school 4 years later is fairly a long time. He becomes a student again, way

A month ago, I remember being caught up with my internship, Otak2 & UKEC events. Basically I was busy. My best friend on the other hand, was busy relaxing. A month later and the roles have reversed. RS is now back in England to do her work-experience while I remain back in KL, chilling out and slowly but surely getting myself together before I fly off to the UK. That's right...2 weeks till I fly

So Selamat Hari Raya/Happy Eid to all Muslims!  and a very Happy Independence Day/Hari Merdeka to Malaysia and all Malaysians! A special year indeed for Malaysia and Muslims in Malaysia because our independence day fell on the second day of Eid which does not come around often! Double the celebration, double

I believe that all my life I've been blessed with promising opportunities and I believe that I've taken up most of them so I'm glad that I did. Because you know what I realised? That opening one door leads you to more doors. Taking up one more opportunity leads you to being presented with more opportunities. It's like...the domino effect! I hardly appreciated this notion when I was younger. I

The thing about small birthday celebrations at home is that there's...  a) not many people to tend to, making it... b) more easier to focus on people, and because it's at home it gives you.. c) more privacy and freedom to be ourselves  It just becomes very personal really. Nono, not my birthday. But it was a dear friend's of mine, or shall I say...one of the crazy bunch of girls that made my

I went out for desserts with the best friend RS the other night. Nothing like good cake, latte and company that knows you inside out. I mean it was a short affair but sometimes even 1 hour of each other's time is enough to call it a good night, you know? It's not always about quantity but the quality, and making the most of the moment you have. But speaking of quality...to ensure we were able

You know, I was feeling a little bit down the other day, do I decided to play some soothing music and write down a list of things I'm most grateful for. And in the process I think I cheered myself up really. Amazing what simple gestures can do to oneself :) - 1. Moments with my brothers, when they come into my room to just hang out on my bed, or to see what I'm up to. Sometimes they come in and

And that's 2 months of my internship at BFM gone in a snap of a finger!  That's also 2 months of the Otak2 program I was part of, also gone in a snap of a finger. Gosh, that was FAST.  But it's been an amazing 2 months, you know?. I cannot even begin to explain how amazing and fulfilling it was. Exactly what I imagined it to be, dare I say better perhaps! with Marie, another BFM intern :)
