DIY progress

Well, not really a progress.

more like, a start.

LOL

I posted some times ago that I wanted to DIY my phone cases using fake whipped cream with decodens.

Eg:

I bought the 'decodens'.

I couldn't buy the fake whipped cream online coz apparently I couldn't 'bring' liquid substance into the country via mail (I don't really know how the immigration works but that's what I understand). 

So I ended up making my own (following instruction from youtube videos) fake whipped cream

and that didn't really work out (coz I think I put too much of a certain ingredient into the mixture). 

I made the above casing and let it dry for at least 3 days but on the 4th day, the 'clay' part pilled off the case and broke into two.

So, that was the end of my whipped-cream-design case.

I have not try to make a new batch coz I sayang to waste the rest of my air dry clay. LOL nanti tah, when I rajin to experiment. again.

So, I moved on to my second idea of DIY case; Bedazzled!

I bought the square shaped 'beads' from ebay. I was trying to remake the above picture.

But I missed calculated (coz the above picture was for iphone 5, my phone is 6plus) thus I have to rethink of the lay out and came out with this:

I used normal, school craft glue to stick all the bedazzled thingy. took me at least 4 weekends on this. I don't know how long the glue will hold the bedazzled for but so far (I've been using the phone case for 2 weeks?) only 3 tiny dots of beads fell off. so, i guess that's a good sign, right? I didn't think the glue could hold it that long. 

Now, I am moving on to my third DIY style; colored/designed paper style phone case.

Went shopping with my sister yesterday (hunting for tudung actually but I'm a woman. I buy things even when I don't need them :P hahaha) and I was looking for Mod Podge at Shabby Chic (an artsy/crafty shop for creative individuals).

it really is just another Craft Glue thingy but with stronger adhesive/effect.

they were out of stock but i found this

the sales lady told me this will make the same effect as the mod podge. I hesitated and put the thing back on its shelf and went to see what my sister was up to.

She was looking for some crafty design papers. they were on sales (everything was on sales in that shop, for krismas); 10 pieces and above and the paper will be $1 each. (normal price ranges from $1.60 to $2.90 each). 

"Good bargain," my sister said. 

Since I was trying to make another DIY case design, i decided to follow suit. 

and boy did I ever.

I bought 11 pieces + a sticker type paper with alphabet and numbers on it.

and when i was about to pay, i ran to the back of the kadai and finally just took the mod podge wanna-be. it was like 'now or never' moment. LOL

So now, I'm thinking of how to put them all together. I was even thinking about cutting off some of my SHINee photos from their album photobooks. I don't know. I haven't quite figure it out yet.

but one thing for sure, I'll be sharing my finished products here. 

and maybe make something out of this 'findings'

a/n: hmm..what do you know, a slow progress is still a progress.

. . .

Youtube, and how I was inspired to make a post from it

have you ever browse something on youtube and ended up on a video not related to the first video you watch?
Same.

Today, I was watching Justin Timberlake's ESPYS (some sport award show) hosting. He was really funny there. then, I went on watching Jamie Fox's hosting the same event from the previous years. and then, I watched Jamie serenade Serena Williams (that famous female tennis player).
Pastu,
some minutes later
I was watching this



Onew and Luna singing Can I Have This Dance at SMTown Concert in Staple Center NY (I think. if not, maybe the one in Japan, I am not sure and lazy to go and find out where).

LOL

I remember watching Deleted Scenes from HSM3 (that's High School Musical 3 for those who don't know) and also remember watching Sharpay and Ryan version of What I've Been Looking For. I know I kept repeating the A Night To Remember coz the dancing was awesome. 

oh, i found the version of Gotta Go My Own Way that I like most



by Nikki Gil

anyway,
what I wanna know is how did I go from Justin's hosting an award show 
to watching song clips or movie videos of High School Musical?!
like, what is the connection?!

LOL

I could've been sleeping (￣。￣)～ｚｚｚ by now coz I felt so tired and yawning a lot at the office today
but
yeah
youtube happened.

About that Onew/Luna video, I was reading the comment coz there was a part where Onew supposed to be singing but he didn't (I remember during that time, fancams were everywhere and I also remember someone commenting about Onew forgetting his line).
You wanna know what I found?
people going gaga over LuNew. ~(⊕⌢⊕)~
and mostly praising these two singers 

example:


don't get me wrong. Luna is about the only girl in the industry that I ship my Onew with. 
It's just, how deaf and blind a fan can be?
it took several scrolls to finally found sometwo commenting about it

1.



2.


I've forgotten how the song goes in the movie but I know I love the HSM3 version just as much. because by that 3rd movie, Zac and Vanessa sounded a lot mature and less squeaky. 

Others also kept going on and on about how tired Onew looked. 
well, i bet he was, SHINee was promoting Lucifer at that time and Onew was doing a musical too. and they flown across the continent to do a concert there. go figure.

In conclusion, 
I wanna thank youtube for recommeding what video I should watch next.
because of that, I am able to make this post.
I thank you and good night!

. . .

Justin Bieber

shocking right?
hahaha
to me, not really.
Coz I've been listening to  all Justin biggest songs out there since 'Baby'
LOL

I don't really follow Justin Hollywood news.
I only listen to his songs.

You have to admit, he has an amazing voice. and most of his music releases are awesome!

I remember watching  a clip on youtube about how much of a dick he can be. but then I realized that I don't really care. His song is still so catchy and easy to my ear, I can hate him but I can't hate his music.

So,
he just released his new album Purpose and according to Jimmy from SNL, his album had gone to number one on itunes in 99 countries!
If that's not amazing, I don't know what is.

I'm the type to listen (at least!) 3 different songs over and over and over again.

1. What Do You Mean


2. Sorry


3. Love Yourself



I've only ever downloaded song no. 1 
I haven't got the chance to download the others (or in AzNuur words, 'I am lazy kan download2')

Those who said the above songs 'inda lawa', well, BOOOOOO! *throws trash your way*

I share the Live version coz he awesome!


. . .

Hello, Hello

Honestly, the reason behind my lack of posting is because every time I feel like posting, 
it was always about me complaining about ..stuff.
So, in the end, I decided to not post anything.

Let's face it, no one really cares.
I noticed, in many different occasions, that people don't really have an interest when I tried to 'meluahkan perasaan'. I guess they just have their own problem to worry about.
So, I try not to take it into heart sometimes.
I guess, I'm right again. 
Writing things down in my diary is far more satisfying!

muahahah! 

anyways,
that is all for today.
I will try and post something not-kpop tomorrow, or later after midnight.

I sincerely hope that your days had been far better off than mine.

a/n: at my age, I finally understand what they meant when they say, "Quality in friends versus Quantity".

. . .

This is Me

I've been trying to post something positive or something kpop but it's kinda hard, especially when your real life (outside this virtual world) is soooo negative.

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ

I should mention that I am trying not to be so negative, not to be angry all the time and most importantly, trying not to lose myself.

It has been pointed out to me that I wasn't the same person as I was before. 

hmm...

Initially, I was shocked and upset finding that out coz it sounded like a bad thing coming out from the 'pointer's' mouth.
but being me, I over think it. 
Of course I'm not the same person as I was before!
I'm a living thing, I evolve!
Egg.

I guess the pointer only meant that I no longer follow their wishes.
Before, I used to just do what I was told coz I was afraid of being 'frown upon' which ended up me being bullied into doing other people's job too.
but now that I built up my own confidence, I questioned everything before I do what I was told to do.

It has also been pointed out to me that I've been watched and turned out, I have quite the temper.

Surprise.

They told me that I have an attitude problem. they even put that on my appraisal.

Lovely.

I wanted to be honest and say that I don't have an attitude problem but God knows I do, so, yeah, I have an attitude problem. 
the question is, why? Coz if they've been watching me, they should know that I don't just act up out of no where.

They asked me all the right questions plang but what really ticked me off is that they already know the answer but still want me to say it out loud.
Not that I have any problem on speaking my mind out loud, i just thought that it isn't fair that I'm being singled out and be the bad person alone.
Since they already know the real problem, why not address the 'problem' instead of trying to 'fix' my attitude because of that problem? 
I am channeling Ginny right now and will call this Problem, from today onward, Phlegm.

Seriously, when I'm not focusing on these silliness, I'm ok. my temper only raises when I think about it.
So, I'm gonna leave this here and hoping someone from the office will read this and do something about it.
Yes, issue dari office. 
hahahah
So much for being discreet.
my foot.

Anyway, they said they've been watching me kan? They should also see that temper-mental or not, I still do my job well. Not excellent but at least still exceed their expectation. 
but being the bias person that they are, I'm sure they didn't see that good side of me, only the bad one for them to use against me.

and to that I say,

☉▵☉凸

and have a nice life.

my ability to 'lead' was also brought into question. and all I can think about right now is Dumbledore.
Just because we don't hold higher position, that doesn't mean that we are not right.

I remember saying, "maybe they had forgotten what it was like down here" not exactly in that words but same meaning.

sigh.

I know it's time to go. It's not even worth it anymore.

Hamburger

this had to be the best meme/edit/post ever!

hahahaha

I hamburger you too, Minho

hahahah

. . .

Sweets

If you think only pregnant women have sweet tooth, you thought wrong.

Coz I'm not pregnant yet and my sweet tooth craving is crazy.

my fav indulgence includes Cakes and Ice Cream.

and right now I'm craving like mad for these two. 

Strawberry sponge cake from Supa Save.

Vanilla cone ice cream from DQ.

Most of the time I can't really give in. Especially when I already ate the cake two days ago. hahahah So for now, I have to substitute these craving with hot milo. coz it's 9:42pm and by the time I got to the said places, tutup tia kadai. ಥ_ಥ

I wonder how crazy my craving goes when I really am pregnant with a child?
( 　ﾟ,_ゝﾟ)

Play Play Play

I bought new nail stamp last month and finally got the chance to use them properly last Friday while watching Sherlock Holmes.

Here's the outcome:

Ignore the ugly cuticles and focus on the nails deco, shall we?
LOL

from a far they looked like inai. Especially with that nail polish color.

The very first attempt using the stamp (while I was watching Anastasia), 
well

it was a complete mess.

Maybe next time I become a pro.

a/n: I need to do something with my super dry cuticles.

. . .

I see Korean-related things EVERYWHERE

You know when you like something so much, everything around you reminds you of it.

Example:

I was at work that one time and a colleague had this hair do 

which reminds me of this 'old' Korean hair do

LOL!

I don't know if I've shared enough here but I'm a big fan of Korean Historical drama. I think I'm more fascinated with their garments than anything else. 
That is why the hair do above became a topic for tonight's post.

hahaha

. . .

(Pretend) Recital Practice

I'm not sure if I've always known this habit but;
I search lyrics for my current fav song and start to menghafal the song like I was going to perform it in front of a live audience, when I'm stressed/pressured/depressed/etc.

LOL

and it's great way of losing or letting out my anger.

thus, here's the new song that I've been practicing; Ailee's 한걸음 더.
the English translation is One Step Closer.

and this is the 5th Korean song that I took the time to 'hafal' the song by studying the Hangul lyrics.
in case you guys curious what's the other 4 songs are, let me list them down real quick;
1. BoA - No.1
2. SMTown - Dear My Family (I AM ost)
3. SMTown - Hope
4. So Hyang - Arirang Alone

No. 2 and 3 atu aku hafalkan konon nya kan sing-a-long time liat concert di Singapore few years back. hahaha 

I know, I'm like Kpop lover and cheese. There should be at least a SHINee song in that list, right? but honestly, I love the songs but still prefer Japanese song over Korean. Coz I can pronounce Japanese (reading the romanization of course, not the real Japanese character) better than I can with Korean. LOL! 

Anyhoo, 
Like I did with BoA's Close To Me, I'm going to share with you guys Ailee's 한걸음 더 lyrics here.
it's not mine, I took from a website via Google search.
Let's menghafal this song together now~~!

keep it together my child
울지 마 dry your eyes
더 이상 숨지 마
크게 소리쳐 봐 아픔을 외쳐 봐
뒤돌아 웃어 now
길이 없던 난 멀리 보이는
불빛으로 다가가고 싶은데
다가갈 수 없게
너무나 아픈데
무너져 버린 나를
희망으로 날 잡아준 건
시간이 지나면
괜찮아질 거라고
모두가 얘기해
조명이 켜지면 아무도 모르죠
슬픈 표정은 gone
잠겨 있었던 내 감정은 어디로
다가가고 싶은데
다가갈 수 없게
너무나 아픈데
무너져 버린 나를
희망으로 날 잡아준 건 너
나 포기하지 않을게
no no 또 하루를 보내
서로를 위해 한 걸음 더 가깝게
다가갈 수 있게 받아준 그 사람
어두웠던 내 맘에 사랑으로
날 밝혀준 건 너

and here's a audio video with the lyrics also, just so you know what the song sounds like xD



I had tears in my eyes the first time I heard this song. and I don't even know what it means at that time. ahahah 

. . .

a/n: I know I've been depressed with myself lately and I really don't know what to do with this anger. and yesterday, the last straw had been thrown my way and I am done. It's been long overdue and it's time to move on.

. . .

Long Overdue

Hello people,
miss me?
Bet you do.

What have I been doing? Nothing important.
Mostly I've been lazying around.
Per usual.
☜-(ΘLΘ)-☞

but I should share with you this;

I am back into planning my birthday trip to Japan. next year.

YAY ME ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／

It was supposed to be a solo trip.

It could still end up that way.

We'll see.

For now, I am planning this like it is still my birthday solo trip!

I know, some may asked, "Bukan ko kan ke Korea first kh?" 
maybe. 
But I thought long and hard on that. 
then I realized, my love for Harry Potter is far more greater than for Korea. ┌( ಠ‿ಠ)┘

Besides, after Key posted the above picture, I JUST. HAVE. TO. GO. THERE. TOO.

see? still SHINee related mission. hahaha 

I swear, if Hogwarts theme park kena open di Universal Studio Singapore, I'll be going to Singapore, at least, yearly. hahaha Yes, I'm a crazy potterhead.

No matter what, I will see this trip thru. On my birthday. I will make it happen!

. . .

a/n: First thing first; I need to buy that pod thingy for solo-ist trip selfies.

. . .

Movies

No, bukan new movies I've watched recently.

Today, I'm going to post movies that I can recite even in my dreams. (≧◡≦)

1. 3 Ninjas - "Last Summer, me and my brothers-" "My Brothers and I" "Whatever!"

I used to have such huge crush for Rocky a.k.a. Michael Treanor. :P

2. Ever After - "I told you Gustav, Not today!" "You look like a girl" "That's what I am half wit" "yeah but today you look it!"

I know I've mentioned this before but this Cinderella movie is my utmost favorite because it shows how very strong the Cinderella character was without magic. Her strength was only from her wit and cleverness.

3. Mulan - "little brother! oh there you are. who's the smartest doggy in the world?" "Fa Lee, is your daughter here yet? The matchmaker isn't a patient woman" "Of all day to be late"

also, another girl power favorite. Mulan's character was so boy-ish here and shows that a lady can be as strong as a man if she wanted to be.

hahaha 

this post has no point.

I just want people to know I'm a freak somehow or another.

hahaha

I have the habit of watching a movie over and over again (even if its just in the background while I was doing something else on my phone or laptop) especially when it has a good storyline or action scene or simple brilliant punch line!

currently, I'm addicted to Easy A which has Emma Stone as the leading role. so this could be the fourth movie that I'm going to be able to recite in my sleep. hahahah

. . .

Happy Belated Birthday

this special post is dedicated to the pretty Jess

Sorry that it is belated but here you go;

Happy Belated Birthday Jessica.
I know from your post you had a blast!

Here's to many more years to come 

. . .

Why You Should ...

this post will be about, how you should really understand something before you jump into conclusion.

or watch an MV sampai habis and after that baru tah plan apa kan di post.

LOL

I was watching f(x) 4 Walls MV for a few times (to help increase the number of view :P) when I cam across Kyuhyun new MV from his second mini album.



Half way thru the MV I was thinking I wanna share this MV with cZawir and tell him "This is what's going to happen to me on my solo trip next year" coz the MV was about a lady travelling alone and somewhat a guy fell for her after a short encounter. 
but as the MV finishes, it turns out the lady was actually dying/critically ill. or maybe she actually died in the MV, I'm not so sure. 
and that stop me from posting/tagging cZawir on FB.

Like, No, I don't want that to happen to me next year. *knock on wood*

hahaha tau takut~

but I still like the MV minus the dying. Macam a mini version of fluffy Kdrama!

someone asked in the comment, "Why didn't she just eat her medicine (nangis tah pulang)?" and someone replied "coz there is no water" LOL! egg. funny! but egg. ahaha

Now, back to f(x) 4 Walls MV!!!!



I doesn't reminds me of anything for the last half an hour listening and rewatching the MV. I only thought that its a nice song and the MV could've been better (coz I have no idea what they are trying to tell me with this MV). but in the comment, people kept saying its a copy of SHINee's View. and now I can't unseen the similarity. #damnit

Someone commented something about Sulli looking great in the MV (at 2:16 minute) and when I clicked the highlighted time, I laughed. coz 2:16 brings you to the scene with the brown horse. hahahah! Someone even asked "J-Horse is that you?" hahah seriously! people are dead hilarious in the comment! and egg! completely egg! hahahah


In IG, FB and now youtube channel, I've been seeing Sulli's fans being upset and dissing current four members of f(x).
It was officially announced that Sulli wanted to leave f(x) to pursue her acting career. it's not the other 4 members fault. If anyone to be pitied, it should be Vic, Amber, Luna and Krystal. They are the one yg had to endure the hardship of losing a member and trying to move forward.
I hope f(x) will get all the recognition that they deserve.

. . .

that movie and a comeback

It was more like Funny and Egg!

LOL

I guess I expected that movie to be funny because Jack Black was in it.
and it was nice to find out that from the beginning, the main character was funny AH (as hell) too!

I laughed the hardest (spoiler alert!) during this one scene at the supermarket when Jack Black was spraying himself with deodorant! I laughed coz of his face but mostly because it was so girly and reminded me of a video Amber from f(x) posted on IG some time ago. hahaha so egg~

what I don't like about this movie is the scene towards the end. Literally before the ending punya scene. I don't like it. It's very disturbing. Like, what becomes of the reality?! 
You have to watch the movie to understand why I said it was disturbing. I'm dead lazy to explain. 
hahaha

BUT

not to lazy to mention this before I end this post;

f(x) comeback! 27th Oct! without Sulli!
YASSSS!

MV teaser was out 1hr ago!



looks promising but no high hopes coz SM loves to crash all your hopes and dreams.

So excited for this comeback! coz their 3rd Album comeback was dead short!

f(x) deserves all the love in the world!

. . .

PAN

frying pan!! or dalam bahasa Brunei nya, parimpan. 
hahaha

and I have never wanted to hit someone in the head with a frying pan before. until this movie.

I watched this new movie Pan at our local cinema, 
starring Hugh Jackman who played Blackbeard.

It's a story about the beginning of Peter Pan. before that story where he met Wendy. 
I wasn't expecting much when I watch Pan, so I find it very interesting and touchy, especially towards the end. 

but it isn't about the movie that I decided to make a post of this

it was actually about some very offensive actions that some mother and daughter did that made me post this;

not even half thru the movie, these two people stood up and after that changed to the empty seats in front of their previous seats (we sat at the top most seat (Row A), basically the best seats and they changed to seat (Row B) ). and noticing their action, suddenly i was conscious.

It was the mother (who sat next to me) who stood up first and I saw they contemplated for a minute than took the row B seats. then Zawir was like, "Pindah duduk durang ah" and I said "Yeah" and remember feeling really offended and embarrassed.
Earlier before the movie, me and Zawir had our dinner at Burger King and our burgers had onion rings in it.
So, I was thinking, was it my breath? was it stinking too much for the mother to move seat?
or
was it my quiet laughter? yes, i have learned to control my 'barking' laugh to a quiet, shy laugh when I'm in the cinema.

Although I still enjoy the movie and was really into it, every time I cast my eyes to those two beings, it made me wonder what i did wrong?

I even almost confronted them when the movie ended! like, i was that embarrassed and did not appreciate their offensive manner!

But after that, as we walked out of the cinema, I thought, it's not me. it's just that mother being 'annoyed' with me somehow. She's the one with the problem, not me.
If I stink, I am sorry.
If i laugh too much or giggle at every little bit (coz I'm probably some crazy nutter who cannot control my imagination), I am not sorry for that.
Coz, lets face it 'mother' of someone. if you want peace and quiet while watching a movie in a public cinema, I suggest, you don't.
I suggest, it is better for you to watch them at home. later, when the HD version of the movie is release in DVD format, yeah?

Because what you did was very offensive. and no manner. 

I know I am to blame if i have bad breath but if its because of my laughing, that's just..go home, woman!

. . .

a/n: I could go on about how maybe she had some OCD and I shouldn't be saying things about her but still, I have never been so humiliated in public! and I am sure to go on about this again when I'm reminded of it. #MannersIsForAll

. . .

SM released. and My opinion on it.

I didn't mean to start of my post (after a week of absence) with this; but its about the only thing I can get going on...hahaha please just beruang (bear) with me on this one.

First off,
Jonghyun 2nd Mini Album.
a song called 02:34 is one of the song that have been played most among the 9 songs on the album.



The first song of this album, called The End of the Day, was actually very Jonghyun-i~ and I like it.



and this song, Like You, deserves a mention. not because I like it but because I literally laugh out loud at one point coz I thought I heard him say 'fcuk u' (not the one during the chorus. the one around 1:09-1:12 is the start. you can hear it again thru out the song) hahahaha
have a listen



and the rest of the songs in this album are just ..I'm not crazy about them.  
Maybe it's the music. as Kris (ex-member of EXO) once said, "Naega style aniya".
I know I should be more constructive with my 'criticism' but since I'm no expert (and I'm dead lazy kan berhujah or ber-debate) that's about the only polite way to say it.
that low key, breathy way of singing is also Naega Style Aniya 
I admit that I'm always so proud when I see on some article that says Jonghyun wrote the lyric of this songs and Jonghyun write and compose a song for other artists but that doesn't mean I have to like it, right? I am still entitle to my own opinion and feelings.
I listen to music to get my mind off things, and most of Jonghyun musics make me feel uncomfortable. Not because of the lyrics (coz God knows I don't understand Korean) but just the way it was 'presented'. I don't know eh cemana kan explain lagi. Go figure it out yourselves. but if you happened to like Jonghyun songs, good for you. Jonghyun made this album for you. you don't need to bash me. I still bought his original as a way of supporting his career. even though I'm just one person and may seems like I don't contribute much, the Emperor from Mulan said, 'A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man maybe the difference between victory and defeat'. LOL nah ko! sampai Mulan ku bawa kemari ani...jua lagi aku inda making my point...hahaha

and btw, his album 'skin' is literally no skin at all. there are no Jonghyun face anywhere.
these are some of the photos from the booklet;

 I thought, "He got it wrong. this is Onew's. His should be a puppy"

this is pretty. almost like Alice in Wonderland theme. Mad-Hatter-ly.

Second off,
Taeyeon 1st Mini Album
fav song? I 



I listened and watched the mv at the same time. My initial reaction was touched. or sebak di dada. or something like that. I hate Taeyeon's acting. but the rest of the mv with the song reminds me of Ireland. I don't know why. maybe it's the green-field scene with kambing. I don't know. it just reminds me of Ireland.
and I've never been to Ireland, mind you. I mostly ever seen glimpse of it from Westlife's DVD footage. So, maybe it just reminds me of Westlife and ultimately of Ireland too.
I like the entire album. the songs choice fits Taeyeon's voice (in my opinion). music wise is well received by my ears and brain. 
But her live performance sucks. and I'm not even sorry for that. She could've done so much better. I don't know what she's trying to hide or why she's holding back. she can do better and I hope that she will. 

annddd
there ya go.
my me-making-an-effort-to-post today.

this post just shows just how you can never judge people from the outside. We will never know what's going on inside their head.
Like me; I LOVE SHINee but I can't seem to kid myself to go gaga over Jonghyun's music releases. and Taeyeon, I have been feeling annoyed with her (all the other SNSD members, really) ever since the Jessica's Cast Out drama. So, I was surprised when I fell in love with her album.

you can never know.

. . .
