i heard that your dreams came true;
guess she gave you things, i didn’t give to you.

As a matter of fact, apparently, i give the impression that i have had a lot of boyfriends. Truth is, so far i only had 3 (with 2 in between that barely made it). That isn’t a lot, is it? There is G, and J, then A. J and A happen to be a Jerk and Ass respectively (i love how their abbreviations just fit perfectly). It gives me a good indication that i should stay away from men with names starting with B (i.e. Bernard), or having another Bastard would then be the most painful J-A-B in my life.

From 17th October to 20th January, i experienced a series of 2 breakups. In 2011 with the Ass, and in 2012 with one-who-barely-made-it. The latter was unforgiving, potentially abusive, and probably prays to marry Virgin Mary. i am neither a person who intentionally seeks love, nor a person who closes all doors; so if possible, i’ve made a decision to stay single throughout the dragon year (starts 4th February) to focus on me, save up, and actualizing my ‘Eat Pray Love plan’ (i mean that literally) for 2013. It’s funny when i come to think about it – now is only the beginning of 2012, and here i am impatiently anticipating the snake year… $ ✈ ☼ ♥

So i thought, a good way to start the new year and a new me, is with a new hair do! Spot my bob cut?

It definitely feels like less than a week ago when we left KL city for our hometown… now we’re back on the highway again; getting closer to pffttt – Monday. This year we do it a bit differently as we came back in 2 cars (dad drove mum while brother drove me). There is a big difference when it comes to who the driver is. With my dad, you can expect either total silence with occasional old advises breaking through, or Hokkien music all the way. Most of the time you get both (we don’t have a choice, really). But with my brother, we get to set up some hardcore karaoke session with my awesome feet in the air~! Not to forget, here are a few of my current favorite things to have when traveling on the road:

{Massimo Dutti ‘paper scarf’, Pull & Bear orange tank, Thai fisherman pants (D.I.Y lovers can learn to make ‘em here)}

{handmade gold elephant anklet from Khaosan Road, Bangkok}

{my favorite pair of sunglasses: the RayBan Wayfarer}

{crossed-legs and thick book in between}

& that’s how we roll~!

i found these pictures yesterday in a hidden folder accidentally named ‘Untitled’. Simply looking at them gives me a good laugh to myself. They were taken about half a year ago along a not-so-secret road near Changkat and we fell in love with the name of it, hence the photoshoot. Ahhh~ those were the good times. <3

Ruby | me | Eri

Even though we are close friends, the three of us have never celebrated chinese new year together before. Eri will stay in KL, Ruby goes back to Perlis, while me, my home is at Johor. But thanks to today’s technology (and MAYBANK), we get to send e-cards that come in various templates with horoscope readings to each other, and even stand a chance to receive a RM250 ang pow for the most creative lion dance + many more interesting surprises!

新年快乐 & don’t miss this out!
