WTF? Getting Old? NO!!!

I'm really dreading Sunday. I know I shouldn't make a big deal I mean.. what's 22 compared to 32, or 42, or even 52 but.. Argh!!! My life is rushing pass me and there's no way for me to freeze time!!!

Birthdays use to be a fun and enjoyable day for me. I look forward to my birthdays weeks in advance because when you're young, you always want to grow older because there are just so many possibilities and opportunities waiting for you when you're supposedly older..

But now.. Argh!!!

Passing the 21 year mark was already hard for me. I was dreading it because this meant that I'm going to now be an official adult. Responsibilities and everything. But at least it wasn't so bad because people put a great deal on the year 21. Not only can you drink legally but there's no place in the world that you can't get into anymore because of your age.

But 22? What so special about 22? It just means that you're getting old and before you know it, you're all old and wrinkle and all alone. I know I know.. you feminist must be scolding me and saying what's wrong with being alone.. Nothing's wrong. Its just I like to be young.. like 20 young. Not 22 young. Urgh.. I'm disgusted with myself. I don't want to tell people that I'm 22!

And you know what's the worst thing? I'm going to Big Bear, which is a ski resort this weekend and they have special lift prices for "young adults." And young adults are 21 and below!!! And 22 and above is considered normal price! =.= Meaning I have 1 day to ski with the special "young adult" price and after that.. I'm done.

Sigh..

Thrift Store

I remember when I was young, I used to read books about how people will go to Salvation Army or thrift stores to buy vintage clothes and stuff and I always wanted to go to stores like that. I mean.. imagine finding a cool vintage dress for less than 10 dollars! How cool would that be? Or old books, discount furniture.. We never have that in Malaysia. Though I kinda wonder why! Is it because Malaysians never ever give away old stuff?

One's man garbage is another man's treasure! People will have garage sales all the time here and its really fun looking at the randomest thing people have! I'm working in my internship now and the office is right next to this thrift store and it just amazes me every time I walk in. The shirts there are like 3 dollars each! Though if you think of it, its kinda scary wearing someone's old stuff. What if the person is a criminal? Or a super disgusting person? Urgh..

So what's the deal with second hand stuff? Good or bad?

A moment of thought..

Sometimes I'm just so fortunate to be able to live on such a beautiful campus..





Swimming around in the pond everyday.. in the midst of students rushing by to class.. and I'm just gliding by without a single worry in the world..

I wonder how it feels like to be like that..

Desperate Housewives having financial problems too?

We all know that there's a an economic crisis going on right now. How serious is it.. I have no idea. It is not really affecting me right now but I know when I come out and find a job, I'll feel the impact of it. However, its funny when you see how even local shows are depicting its characters facing the economic crisis. I juz watched Desperate Housewives a while ago and one of the characters are facing financial difficulties. Looks like not only we normal human beings are having a little shortage of money, fictional characters are too!

That's why garage sales and factory outlets are the key to our financial problems. Wholesale laptops, Ipods, Coach bags.. They're all cheaper than the normal price. Wahaha.. I know its bad. Still shopping you ask? Well.. a girl has to shop no matter what! Shh.. dont tell my dad or Cody. They'll probably lock me in a room forever. Ahh.. I have to curb my shopping habit! Help!!!

Just to make you smile..

Having a bad day? Hope this can make you smile! =)



Though friends can be totally evil sometimes! Don't u just love the orange guy? I wish I could squeeze him!

Marx's ideology

Summer holidays are fast approaching! I'm super duper excited! I'm going back to Malaysia! My home!!! Yay!!! I get to eat lots of Malaysian food, shop in Malaysia's huge shopping malls, eat, shop, eat, shop.. Ahhh... Paradise!!!

But summer is going to be 3 whole months long. I don't know what I'm going to do the whole time! Last summer was soooo boring for me.. Staying at home watching TV the whole time. I was about to die. Even though I did do some traveling, I still almost died of boredom. =(

Humans really can't do anything monotonous. Or maybe its just my case. Marx was right about the alienation one feels towards monotonous jobs, even if it consist of sitting in front of the TV all day. =P

I want to travel!!! Where do u think I can go? I was thinking of Singapore. Its near, meaning I dont have to fly, and Singapore itself has lots of interesting stuff to see! I know I can find some cheap hostels but cheap is still expensive for us Malaysians. =( Boohoo.. Especially if I want to find some extended stay hotels! Even worst!

Any Singaporean readers wanna let me stay in their place?

Writing for life..

Wow.. it has been a week since I got back from Peru. Life changing experience. I can't even start to say how amazing it was. Living in Peru and everything. I wish I kept a journal so I could record everything that happen but lazy me didn't keep anything whatsoever.. Kinda sad I know but that's one of my new year's resolution. To keep a journal. There's too many interesting experiences in my life and I should really start recording.

Thanks though for you readers that have been dropping by my blog to see if there's any new entries. I know there isn't much update these days but I promise I'll try my best to keep this blog up and running.

I know a lot of people use their blog as a source of income. It is for me too. I earn a little bit here and there from my blog. Not much but enough for me to go out and buy a burger once a week or something. But earning money is not my priority. I know people can get really obsessed with earning money with their blog, using conversion rate optimization and all that but to me, blogging is a good way for me to get to know new friends, and at the same time sharing with people what I learn from my everyday experiences. I just hope my "imaginary" readers will continue to support me. =)

Love you guys!
