I'll start at December last year! 

Dec '12 : Um.. I.. can't really remember much.. Erm.. it was the holidays and.. OH I REMEMBERED! I couldn't online because I had to practise piano! My teacher told my mom I wouldn't be able to take the exam at the rate I was, so Mom made me practise piano everyday. I see I see, so that's why I haven't been able to update ze blog! So the last two weeks (or was it three?) before school started I was practising piano like crazy! And I am proud to say that my piano has improved a bit! I can erm, play almost the whole piece already :D So, um, yeah! 

AND AND! I met my cousins too! <3 :'DDD During Gong Tek, I went to my late grandmother's house for a three- day ceremony. I finally got the chance to see my cousies after so long! <3 It was really, really, really nice! :D <3 It was so fun being with them :) Those three days were ze best! It turns out that Adeline's a big K- Pop fan also, besides being an otaku, and I talked to Iandre for ze first time! :D I also wenta Aunt Mimi's (Adeline, Iandy and Iandre's mom <3) house! There, Adeline showed me her super huge anime collection! It was so huge I almost cried :'D Oh, the joys of being an otaku! <3 <3 <3 There were so, so many anime I haven't yet watched. But it's okay! AFTER PMR :'D AFTER PMR I'LL BE IN HEAVEN. THE THOUGHT OF IT MAKES ME SO, SO, SO HAPPY! <3 Adeline lent me some super nice anime to watch! I haven't watched all of them yet, but I will when I have the time :)) WHY WHY WHY IS MY EDUCATION SUCH A BIG HINDRANCE TO MY OTAKU AND FANGIRLING NEEDS? Sigh. Adeline also gave me a Lee Hyun Woo goodie bag she got when she and Iandre went to his fanmeeting here in Malaysia! :'DDD <3 <3 <3 It was really.. *speechless* Thank you so much Adeline! *bows bows bows* :'D <3 I'm actually restricted from saying thank you to her! XD Still! GOMAWOYO! *bows* To Adeline, Iandy, Iandre, Denise and Dillen, you guys are ze best! :'D <3 I had lotssa fun with you all! I can't wait to see you guys soon! :))) Thank you super lots for everything! :') <3 My aunts were really nice to me too! <3

Jan '13 : School's started! :D <3 January has been really good to me <3 Hmm Form Three :( More homework than the previous years, and constant pressure to do well in PMR :( Heh heh heh but I don't feel any pressure yet 'cause, well, I haven't started my revision and self- torture yet so I'm good :D I'm trying to enjoy these few months till April at least while I can :'D That's why I haven't felt the stress kicking in yet.. But after April/ May, I will have to study like crazy T.T 

I love my class! <3 :D LOTS LOTS LOTS! <3 I love my friends! <3 <3 <3 School has been really, really fun :)) AND! Jeng jeng jeng! I've started watching Yumeiro Patissiere! <3 Sylvia and Vivianne recommended me to watch it <3 :'D I LOVE IT LOTS! <3 I'm currently in episode 30 something! After watching the first few episodes, I decided I wanted to become a patissiere like Ichigo and Kashino and Hanabusa and Andou and all of them! <3 <3 <3 :'D Kyaaa there are no words to describe how awesome Yumeiro is! <3 :D Thank you super lots Sylvia for asking me to watch it! *bows bows* The now revived otaku in me is forever indebted to you! <3 :'D ALSO! I WATCHED NODAME CANTABILE ZE LIVE- ACTION DRAMA/ FILM!!! I CAN'T DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE CRYING AND FANGIRLING AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M JUST SO SO SO HAPPY! :D <3 <3 <3 That's how I feel :'D I LOVE IT! THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE IT I CAN'T EMPHASIZE IT ENOUGH I FEEL SO.. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS FEELING IS ALL I KNOW IS I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY THIS DRAMA WAS MADE :DDD <3 <3 <3 THANK YOU! <3 I shall write a full review someday! :'D <3 IT IS ZE BEST J-DRAMA EVER <3!

We celebrated my birthday at home this year :) Mom bought me a chocolate cake from Lavender, and she cooked Chawanmushi for dinner! <3 :D It was really simple, but to me it's lovely <3 I got many presents from my friends this year <3 :'DDD THANK YOU SO MUCH! <3 :'D You guys really made my day in school :')) <3 <3 <3 I really love them all! :DDD <3 THANK YOU! *bows bows bows* <3 Also, thank you to everyone who took the time to wish me! :) I really appreciate it lots! <3

Lost track of the days. @ 1:47 PM

Stars and stripes! ♥
Changed my braces yesterday! Red and dark blue ♥
Hiiiii! :D It's been a while :) Just came back from Jusco and brunch in Botanic, ordered mushroom soup with garlic bread and french fries :D SO FULL!

Hmm nothing much happened these few days. Mostly I stayed at home watching Love Rain (Episode 17 now!) ♥ :D And! I've realised my face looks a lot like a square lately *sobs and starts digging a hole to jump into* so I've decided to do something about it. It's really depressing. I can't go on the diet because... because... Sigh. And I never exercise. I guess the only exercise I do is walk up and down the stairs, and that's only when I have to. Gahhh it's not even considered exercise. But nevermind! I've found out that eating ice or ice cream or icepops or anything that's really cold and icy and all HELPS LOSE FACE FATS AND THEREFORE I AM GOING TO DO THAT. I'm planning to make icepops later this afternoon! :D I checked out a few websites for recipes and I've decided to make this one:

*drumroll*

STRAWBERRY AND MANGO POPSICLES!
Mango-Strawberry Popsicle
2 mangoes - peeled, cut and seed removed, finely cubed
15 to 20 strawberries - stems removed and cut into half
Sugar to taste
2 tablespoons of limejuice
****
Blender
Popsicle mold with sticks or popsicle sticks and small cups
Refrigerator
1 Prepare Mango Juice: Take mango cubes in a blender. Add a tablespoon of sugar (adjust depending on the sweetness of mangoes) and a tablespoon of limejuice and blend into smooth puree.
2 Prepare Strawberry Juice: Take strawberries in a blender. Add a tablespoon of sugar (adjust depending on the sweetness of strawberries) and a tablespoon of limejuice and blend into smooth puree.
3 Making Popsicles: Pour the juice into popsicles mold or small cups in a tray. You can prepare at least 4 different types of ice pops with these two juices. Plain strawberry, plain mango, mango (bottom half)-strawberry (top half) and strawberry (bottom half)-mango (top half) combinations. If you are using the cups, then place popsicle sticks into cups. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
4 Popsicle time: Place the tray in hot water for few seconds and pull out the pops from the molds or cups. Enjoy!
I got this recipe from here and I'm planning to try other recipes from here as well! :D ♥ I LOVE LOVE LOVE MANGOES AND STRAWBERRIES! ♥ ♥ ♥ :'D I'm so excited! ♥

Day Twelve. @ 1:21 PM

Hi! I'm having my lunch downstairs now :D Eating while blogging is the best! ;) Started a new drama *woots!* ♥ ♥ ♥ :DDD It's called Love Rain, and it stars Jang Keun Suk and YoonA from and Girls' Generation ♥ :D It's really, really sweet, and really sad too especially during the first few episodes (episodes 1- 4, to be specific!) D: Episodes 1- 4 depicts first love in the 70s, where an art student, In Ha falls in love  with a shy beauty, Yoon Hee. He accidentally finds her diary one day and through it, got to know her better. The catch: In Ha's best friend is in love with her as well. Heartbroken, he decided to give up on her and instead gives his friend the chance to be with her. However In Ha couldn't forget her. As time passes, In Ha and Yoon Hee grew closer together, and fell in love but it was never meant to be. Years later (EPISODE 5! Which I am watching now :D ♥), their children meet and fall in love. So yeah! :'D ♥ ♥ ♥ It's a really sweet drama and it really tugs at your heartstrings! ♥ Love Rain is beautiful ♥ I love their quotes, they're just really beautiful :'D
"Like rain, love has two faces; happiness and sadness." -Yoon Hee
“It took me 3 seconds to love someone for the first time, but to stop loving someone, it was impossible in just three seconds.” -In Ha. 
“I couldn’t tell her how much I liked her, or how much that it hurt me to leave her. The watercolour twilight dusk was ending.” -In Ha
“The reason people have two arms is for them to hug the people that they love.” - Yoon Hee
“One, two, three. In just three seconds, I fell in love.” -In Ha
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” -In Ha 
“Perhaps the reason memories of youth are always in watercolor, is because it ends before it can be put in more vivid colors.” -In Ha  
 It's ♥

I can't describe how much :'D IT'S JUST REALLY LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND YEAH! :'DDD ♥ The last episode was ♥ It was really sad when they found out about Jae Hee and she had to leave for America, but it was sweet seeing how much Seung Ri and Eun Gyeol were willing to sacrifice for her :'D ♥ Especially Seung Ri when he asked the other dorm leaders to keep Jae Hee's secret :') When Tae Joon found out, he wanted to stop Jae Hee from going back to America but then he saw her diary.

HE BROKE HIS 2M 30CM RECORD! :'D ♥ ♥ ♥ Jae Hee was watching him jump from a phone in the bus, and suddenly he was shouting to the cameras for Jae Hee to wait for him ♥ :'D ♥ IT WAS SO VERY VERY VERY SWEET! ♥ ♥ ♥ *faints* Then fast forward to a year (A YEAR?! That's just so long D:) later! Jae Hee was reading an email from Eun Gyeol :D He's been really busy with the nationals, while Teacher Lee and Teacher Baek are gonna marry soon! I've always thought they'd be very sweet together! ♥ Teacher Baek's so cute! ♥ Seung Ri's secretly dating Han Na, and Doctor Jang's going to Paris to study fashion LOL! Jae Hee was wondering why Eun Gyeol didn't talk much about Tae Joon AND THEN HE APPEARED! :'DDD ♥ ♥ ♥ And they hugged ♥ ♥ ♥ IT WAS SO SWEET! I ALMOST DIED THEN :'DDD They played Onew's song again and IT WAS LIKE *FAINTS* SO PERFECT! ♥ ♥ ♥ I really like how they never fail to play In Your Eyes during all the sweet parts! It's one of my most favourite songs from TTBY ♥ ONEW! ♥ ♥ ♥

Please allocate some of your time for me to fangirl. Your cooperation is highly appreciated.
MINHO! ♥ ♥ ♥ HIS SMILE OMG! :'D *FAINTS* I could stare at him for the rest of my life :'D SO CUTEEE! ♥ *faints again* How can anyone be so perfect? ♥ *bangs head on the wall*

 So here are the details, if you wanna watch it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING IT! :DDD ♥ IF YOU DON'T YOUR LIFE IS WASTED. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WASTED D: SO WATCH IT! YOU HAVE TO! 


♥

Plot! ♥

The series centers on Goo Jae Hee, a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes attracted to one of the high jump competitors, Kang Tae Joon. She begins to idolize the young athlete and eventually transfers to Korea to attend the same school that Tae Joon attends after he suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. There is a catch, however: Tae Joon attends an all-boys high school and Jae Hee must disguise herself as a boy to enter.

 Cast :D

Why dramah why? @ 8:59 PM


Watching Episode 15 part 5 now! I don't know who I'm rooting for Jae Hee to be with D: Tae Joon and Eun Gyeol are both so very sweet to her, it's really, really sad! Like in all dramas, I know Jae Hee will eventually end up with Tae Joon, but still D: Part of me really want Tae Joon and Jae Hee to be together, but another part of me wished Jae Hee would've given Eun Gyeol a chance and maybe they could be together :'D I can't stand to see him so sad D: Gah dramas :'(

Day Ten: Day Nine's. @ 12:11 PM

It's almost noon and I'm still here in my jammies :D I think it'll rain soon.. Originally I wanted to watch part 3 this morning but the website's experiencing some problems :((( And my Internet's really slow or doesn't work at all when it rains. Most times it doesn't. Sad case. Sigh. Which means I can't continue my drama till it stops raining and probably an hour after it does. This is really depressing.

Hmm I went to Sunway with daddy yesterday :D Bought lots of clothes! ♥ Bought my first overlay blouse at Forever 21 ♥ Was a little disappointed because they haven't launched their Hello Kitty Collection here in Malaysia yet. But that's okay, I'm still really happy :'D The thought of clothes bring tears of joy to my eyes. CLOTHES! ♥ I wished I had bought a skirt to go with the blouse though. I saw a really pretty rust- colored skater skirt in Forever 21 online yesterday! Wished I had looked for it in the store.. maybe next time :D Hmm I wonder if black or rust suits it better? I guess I won't be buying any more clothes till the end of December because.. well.. I think I spent a bit too much yesterday. WHY WHY WHY ARE CLOTHES SO EXPENSIVE?!?! It's so sad. I'm really sorry Pa! Thank you really lots :'D ♥ Thank you for waiting for me while I shopped and tried the clothes and spending your time with me :) ♥ If you're reading this (I don't think you will, but nevermind!), I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND SUN AND ALL THE STARS AND BACK! Thank you Daddy! ♥ I'm sorry I'm always spending your money.. I promise I'll use the things you bought me well and take good care of them ♥ When I earn my own living next time I will treat you to anything you want to eat and bring you wherever you want to go! ♥ :D

Day Eight: 2013. @ 7:02 PM

Hi! *waves* I haven't updated my blog in two days, sorry! It's just that.. that.. I don't have anything to write about. I spent the past two days watching To the Beautiful You, eating, sleeping, Tumblr- ing, watching TV, doodling, reading and talking to my friends :D Nothing much really happened. In fact, it was a bit boring. Boring as in nothing ever, ever happens. Everyday it's the same thing all over again.. :( BUT! I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN. BECAUSE THIS IS PROBABLY THE LAST TIME I GET TO ENJOY MY DEPRESSINGLY EMPTY LIFE. NEXT YEAR IT WILL ALL CHANGE. I've realised this long ago, but today it really hit me.

Yesterday, my piano teacher brought me my Grade Six practical books. I've chosen my first piece a few months ago, so yesterday I had to choose two more. I chose Dussek's Rondo as my first piece, and for the second piece I'm thinking of choosing Brahms' Waltz in A minor. THEN COMES THE THIRD PIECE. The options were really, really depressing. I didn't like any of the three.. In the end, my teacher chose my third piece for me. I tried playing the right hand part only and it was really hard. I seriously don't know how I'm gonna practise a song I don't even like over and over and over again :( It makes me depressed just thinking about it. THEN THE SCALES. AND ARPEGGIOS. I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT ANY OF THEM. 36 scales, 4 octaves, hands together and hands separately. 2 staccato scales (they've only introduced this in Grade Six), 4 octaves, hands separately (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!). 4 contrary motion scales, 2 octaves, hands together. Staccato scale in thirds (they're new as well), 2 octaves, hands separately (THANK YOU! :'D). Chromatic scales, beginning on any note named by the examiner. Chromatic contrary motion scales. AND THE ARPEGGIOS, HANDS TOGETHER AND HANDS SEPARATELY, 4 OCTAVES WHAT THE. 24 arpeggios altogether. Lastly, the diminished sevenths (they're also new, and I've zero idea what they are). AND THEN COMES THE CLASSIC. *drumroll* Jeng jeng jeng! SIGHT READING. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DIE.

Okay! Let's not talk about my piano exam :D LET'S TALK ABOUT PMR. PMR PMR PMR OMG. On second thought, let's not talk about anything concerning next year. It's really, really depressing. I can already imagine it all. Every second of free time I've got will be spent on either piano or studying. I pity myself. Sigh.

 PS: I've created a new Tumblr! :D I shall dump all my K- pop and K- drama loveee there! ♥ ♥ ♥ Link here! :D GAH I'M SO HAPPY! ♥ TAEMINNN! ♥ And by the way! My art Tumblr here :D

Day Fiveeeee. @ 7:52 PM

Drinking hot lemon and honey tea :) ♥ I've just had my dinner, so here I am! The blog post for today :) Today was really normal :D I wish I could say it was boring, but it really wasn't and I wasn't bored. AT ALL. EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE HOLIDAYS. AND I WAS SUPER FREE THE WHOLE DAY. I just... seldom get bored. I know holidays are supposed to be really boring and all, especially if you're not going anywhere at all, but for me it's the opposite. I often hear my friends go "Oh my God, it's sososo boring at home I could practically rot and die. There's NOTHING to do during the holidays. Oh, I'm so damn bored." I can't say I really agreed with them because... because I've never felt that way before. I get bored sometimes, but not during the holidays. I've always looked forward to them, especially long ones ♥ :D Minus the part where I won't get to see my friends! Hmm even if it's just a few days, I feel like I haven't seen them in a month already :( I miss them so much! :( 49 more days to go! D: I really miss them lots </3 

 For reals, I don't know how people actually get bored during the holidays... There's really so much to do! :D There's the Internet. And for once, you can actually devote all your free time to doing things you really like :) ♥ The holidays are really fun for me :D Maybe I'm just weird or abnormal but that's okay with me :P Point is, holidays aren't boring! THERE'S LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO :D That's how I feel anyway :D

 I'm currently watching To the Beautiful You, episode 7, part 4 ♥ :D ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. FOR REALS, I LOVE IT! LOTS! *faints* IT'S REALLY NICE! ♥ I can't emphasize enough on how nice it is :'D Just stop reading this and go watch it now! ♥ If you've never heard of it before, it's actually the Korean version of Hana Kimi :D ♥ I've watched both the Japanese and Taiwanese versions, and I loved them lots :D AND TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU IS NO EXCEPTION! ♥ ♥ ♥ 

 Minho.

Day Four: Tuesday morning :) @ 9:08 AM

I'm eating breakfast while blogging :) Practised Because I Miss You just now, I'm a really slow learner! :( It's four pages long and I'm only able to play one and a half pages so far, pausing at almost every new bar :((( I FAIL. Hmm I'll just keep playing and playing :D

 Anyway! I've decided to learn Korean! :D ♥ I've checked out a few websites offering basic lessons, and so far they're all really good! I'm currently learning to read and pronounce Korean Hangul! ♥ I really like the charts here :D

 I'm still having flu :( I'm gonna watch To the Beautiful You after this! :DD

 That's it for now, I'll update again soon! :)

 Synopsis :D
Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is also the vocalist and guitarist of the band "The Stupid." Shin is known for his good looks and strong passion for music, but in reality he is cold, lacks interest in anything unrelated to music and has neither dreams nor plans for the future. He initially likes Jung Yoon Soo, a dance professor at university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won.
Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu Won's grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age and his biggest wish is to see his granddaughter become a traditional music prodigy. Trying to live up to her grandfather's expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing outside of her studies. As her friends are fans of "The Stupid", she was forced to go to the band's concert with them. There she saw Lee Shin performing live, and is immediately captivated by him.

Originally I started watching Heartstrings in August last year :D Watched only 4 episodes and then I haven't had the chance to continue.. Hmm I'm online most of the time these days, so I'm gonna watch lots of dramas! :D PMR is next year, so I don't think I'll get the chance to come online this often D: It's the school holidays now, so I'm reaaaaallyyyyyyy free! :D And I decided to watch Heartstrings all over again the first thing when I got my Mac back! :D Finished it this afternoon.. I really wished there was a second season ♥ Almost died when they broke up, IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY SAD! Half the time during the last episode I was like, *censored* It was really depressing and sad.
