Project 366.

Hello, I have missed out on so much. I just got my laptop back & my uni life has suddenly gone into super duper hectic mode. Because I've been so busy, I've decided to make a Project 366 blog, where I will have bite-sized updates that are not too lengthy, but just enough ! All my recaps of the previous days will be there, so do visit !


loves.

Twenty twelve.

I know I owe a really really huge long big whooping update to every one of my readers. But it's so very difficult right now because my laptop went kaput. Such a bummer but what choice do I have ? Right now, I am updating from my Dad's iPad, and as much as I love this device, it has tons of limitations and it is just not the same.

The new year is here, 2K12. Supposedly the end of the world ? We don't know for sure. But I have a gut feeling that this is going to be one of those years that are extremely amazing. I have a friend, Claire, who started on the Project 366, which has gotten me intrigued. I would start but as for now, there are many limitations to which methods I can update my blog in.

I could always use my iPhone... But then again,

Funny story, really. I got robbed just after New Year started. Like less than an hour after the New Year ushered in. Naturally, my parents & my grandma believed it was a sign that I was getting rid of all my "bad karma" at the beginning of the year & that this bad event was to " buang suay " as us nyonyas call it. To throw away all the bad stuff and come in with new ones. And my Dad also mentioned that it was just my phone that got stolen & nothing else, plus I didn't get hurt. So, it was a good sign ?

I'm upset nonetheless. My iPhone is barely 5months old and I've already lost her. But what can I do ? For now I'm a fully fledged Blackberry user. Not that I dnt love it, but it's extremely short (6hours on it's best day) battery lifespan is just irritating & it's lag time and extremely small memory space just kills me. K, maybe I should just be grateful that I have a phone to use. But :/

For now, my Maxis number is on hold, because I haven't got the time to drag my mum to the Maxis centre. And I'm only relying on my UMobile. Those who don't have that number can stil contact me via Twitter or Facebook :)

Anyway, I am sort of excited for Uni next week (9th Jan) and also Foster the People on the 13th, as well as Tim's 19th birthday at G Tower & Bridge Bar :) so maybe the start to the new year isn't so bad after all !

Loves.

under-appreciated.

Listening to : Skinny Love (Cover) by Ed Sheeran

Hello ! I know it's been an awfully long time since I ever appeared here, but it's not like I can help it :( My finals finished about a month ago, and since then I've attended a couple more weddings, a holiday or two, tons of shopping sprees & best of all, the Moovement 2011 ! :) More on that in a few more posts to come.

Today, I've decided to update because I woke up earlier than usual, and before I head out, I thought I'd just give a quick update on my life. Sort of. I've been checking the visitor count (hahaha, so self-absorbed) on my blog & my daily view count hasn't been going any lower, so I know you guys are regularly checking for updates. So I'm really sorry in advance !

Okay, so to start this post off, I'm sure majority of my readers/Twitter followers/Facebook friends, or stalkers, know that I am an avid smartphone user. Basically, I'm just a sucker for new tech gadgets and such.


Awhile ago, back in June actually, I switched my black iPhone for a white one, simply because I thought it looked more feminine -_-




and until this day, I'm still the proud owner of my amazingly beautiful white iPhone 4. And not long after I bought my white iPhone, this is what came in the mail !





the iPad 2, also very white & beautiful.


Previously, I owned the first generation Macbook, from waaaaaaaaaaay back when I was 14. And it's currently brain-dead. And also I still have my first generation iPod touch, which is still alive and used to store songs as backup.

Despite being a huge Apple gadget geek,



things have to change.. Right ?

So in the middle of everything, I got a Blackberry Bold 2.



with my Gong Cha ^_^

And after that, I also became an avid Blackberry user ! I find it very convenient for all my social networking thingos that I use daily. At that time, I used Digi because my friends convinced me it was the cheapest.


If I remember correctly, at that time it was RM2 a day for Unlimited BIS, which to me, is crazy expensive because it meant having to pay RM60 for a whole month.

But, I slaved through it, and eventually the price went down to 98sen/day. Which was still 30 bucks. And then they came out with this thing that you paid only RM25/month. Which was much cheaper.

Through all my exams and everything, I eventually stopped using my Blackberry entirely because of the annoying hassle of trying to reload my Digi number because for no reason, it kept draining my credit. I didn't text or call anyone, so I didn't see where my money was going to.

Eventually, I sold off my Bold 2, and now I'm a proud owner of the,



Torch 9850!

Been having this baby for almost a month and it's amazing. Fast, reliable and extremely user-friendly. But here's a twist, I stopped using Digi entirely. Because, I've found something much better!



UMOBILE!

Everyone condemns UMobile because they say it's not an established company, etc etc. People say the line is bad and all that, but to be honest, Digi's line is far worse. I can't even get Digi 3G in my own house. I have had NO problems with UMobile so far. The best thing about their 3G line, is that they're tied with Celcom ! So anywhere you're unable to get UMobile 3G, the Celcom line steps in, and ta-da you have 3G. And you gotta bear in mind that Celcom does indeed have the largest coverage in Malaysia.

That's not the only reason I switched. Another reason is because of the extremely cheap rates. I'm paying only RM19/month for unlimited Blackberry services. NINETEEN. THATS CRAZY.

Another thing is that, even if you're not a Blackberry user, for RM68 a month, you can get 3GB of data, 150 minutes of calls to UMobile, 150 minutes of calls to other lines, etc etc. Just going to emphasize on that 3GB of data. Which is impossible to even get in Maxis. Because Maxis' 2GB/month without calls and smses is RM155.

And if you use prepaid (like me), when you reload RM10, you can 10 days of free calls. When you reload RM30, you can get 30 days of free calls.

And instead of the usual, you top up RM10, you can only use for 10 days, in UMobile, if you top up RM10, you can get 30 days ! If you top up RM30, you can get 90 days! This means your credit won't expire as fast as you using it.


Here's my new Torch powered by uMobile's BIS service


I'm not working for uMobile or anything like that. They're not paying me. Hahaha, but I just thought I'd share something good with everyone because people constantly complain about Digi's cheap rates but extremely horrible line. So why not use something that has both cheap rates and good line ? :)

That's my short? update :P sort of. Gonna head out now. Shall update more when I get home.

p/s: Have you noticed me saying Hi over there ? :D

beyond.

Listening to : The Boys (소녀시대) by SNSD/Girls' Generation

HELLO, update time! I decided I've got enough time to update about my Aunty Sherlene & Uncle James' Melaka wedding.

BEFORE I START OFF , THIS POST IS EXTREMELY LONG AND CONTAINS A MILLION ZILLION PICTURES.



most of the pictures below are taken with this extremely beautiful camera! :D which I can only wish it's mine. damn.


Melaka Wedding ; 8th October 2011

the day started out wonky as usual. arrived in Melaka the day before, on a Friday, and went over at night for a customary dinner at my Aunty Sherlene's house. I think there are pictures of that night (somewhere) but currently I don't have them! anyway, we had our dinner then continued helping out with the stuff. woke up the next morning & got ready all the stuff to be transported !



it was around 12pm, when we loaded the THREE cars, including this Hilux.





that's the so-tidak-glamour groom standing up there while we load the stuff + the wishing tree.



angry bird -_- hahaha





and these two monkeys sat at the back of the Hilux. that's my cousin, Hazel. Jazzie, Carrie-Ann, Mabel, Aunty Jill, plus me, of course, sat inside the extremely packed Hilux.


the wedding was at Avillion Legacy, Melaka! when we got there, the rooms weren't quite ready. so we wandered off to the ballroom on the sixth floor. and decided to carry everything up & set things first. before we went up.


that's Avillion. a not so glamour picture because the car was moving.



the party favours. so cute, right! can you believe this is MY blood and sweat and DNA poured into all of this? my fingers practically got glued to some of the boxes.



PROOF, I painstakingly pasted every single one of these babies with the stickers.



not very clear. but I'm making the James box :P



adorbs, no?







setting this corner up.





supposedly helping. HAHA.

so after setting everything up : photobooth, wish tree, reception corner + checking of the sound system and the walk-in space, WE FINALLY WENT UPSTAIRS. yessss, ALL OF US. in that tiny cramped "honeymoon suite". all of us, Hazel, Mabel, Carrie-Ann, Jazzlynn, my brother, Uncle Dan, Uncle James, Uncle Kaytee, Aunty Sherlene, Aunty Jill, Aunty Kym and me. 11 of us. in. one. small. hotel. room.



and naturally, the first thing we do, IS EAT ALL THE FOOD. I mean fruits.



Mabel the hero, can eat the jambu batu like that.





picking my jambu before people steal any.









then we decided fruits not enough. so we made people go down and get McD for us, right across the street. RM100 worth of McD.



then the bride zzzz. heeee :p



McD EVERYWHEREEE. she's admiring her rose petals.



she's getting her makeup done.



he's cutting his nails. HAHA.

then we do what we Nyonyas do best. DANCE. even in that sarong of ours we can jump around, shake and shuffle ;P



then everyone ends up drunk. *ps, hahahaha spot my daddy in his glasses B)

when we say everyone gets drunk, we mean the groom too.
