Those Cute Pair of Shoes

I recently joined Instagram, for the main purpose of online shopping. Now I'm not sure this was the best idea, because every day there are at least 5 things I want to buy. Considering that I don't have a fixed income, or any income at all, for that matter, this is mildly depressing.

Yeah, okay,  I don't REALLY, truly need a those cute pair of shoes...but regret is a like a cockroach in your mouth. Yeah, it probably won't be there after a while but you'll always remember.

And just when you think you can always buy it later if you still need it, it goes out of stock.

I've developed a minor addiction to strawberries and butter cakes with super sweet icing.

I want to eat you (P.S.T.)
Pretty-Sweet-Thing. 

Because they're super delicious, that's why. So if you see me, and you feel out of the goodness of your heart to feed a kid, you know what to do.

On another note, Kajang had it's by elections today. And I didn't even find out until 7PM. Yeah, that's how politically involved I am. As they say, better late then never, right?

Now, the conclusion of this whole post is :
YES, so I did buy them. I DID. And I had to write a whole post defending my actions just to make myself feel a little better. So thanks, internet, for agreeing with me. You've always been there when I need you.

Also, Wikipedia needs donations. I need more shoes. So.

Farewell, WorldWideWeb. Till next time.

The Art of Conversation

I think one of the biggest problems I have right now is the inability to talk to someone I don't really know. Sure, we can go through the formalities of what they do and what their names are, but what happens next?

Whenever I see people who are strangers just hit it off, it always gets my head in a knot-like mess. How do these people do it? How do they break the barriers of years of different lifestyles in a matter of minutes?

I think my goal...if not these year, then for the next five, will be to master this art of conversation. Even if I have to learn French to do it. Je parle un peu le francais.

Anyway...if you're someone I don't know and you come up to me...this is really how it's going to go.

You : Hi.
Me : Hello.
You : My name's ..
Me: I am Yashna.
You: Nice to meet you.
Me: Yeah, you too.
You: So what are you doing now?
Me: Studying. You?
You : *insert answer*
...and a bunch of polite smiles thrown in here and there.

This is typically the end of a conversation with me, esp. if you never see me again.

For those who already know me, only by name for some of you, then I apologize. I am truly sorry if I made it hard on you when talking to me...and perhaps now it's too late.

All I want you to know is that you shouldn't hold my lack of social skills against me, because I'll be trying now.

Trying to know the person you are, and hopefully allowing you to be one of the better people in my life.

I look forward to meeting you. Goodnight.

It's like a drug.

 

Yeah, that's what Maple is. It just. doesn't. let. me. go.

Irrelevant : There's this movie...and it's called Never Let Me Go. And it's good.

Anyway, I've been doing ACCA for like, 6/7 months now, and I like it. I remember those times when I was confused and undecided, and now I'm like...happy. At least about this.

I guess it took some time (2 whole years omg) to realize that I just had to pick something. Randomly. And luckily for me, it's worked out so far.



On another note...I'm feeling kind of directionless right now. Like...other than the obvious aim of completing my course, what am I supposed to do with my life? It can't just be work, work and work right?

I want to do something...inspiring...or inspirational...or at least inspired.

My youngest sister is becoming so pretty. Her hair is so pretty and I wanna shave it all off and put it on my head instead.

One of my vamp teeth is feeling a little loose. Uh-oh.

Oh, oh, oh and NOW I watch football. Okay, I'm not an expert. Not even close. In fact I don't know three quarter of the terms are for the things they do on the field.

But I am a fantasy football manager :P (got hired for my looks, obviously).

And it's fun. Football. Most of the time. I don't even know why. But it just...is.
This is a football, for those of you not in-the-know.


And this is a really hot football player from Chelsea. His name is Oscar.


And this is a picture of Oscar and me ...


No. Just kidding. The guy's married -_-

I spend most of my hours at the library now. Not studying, mind you. Just staring blankly at other people, the books on the shelves, the computers.

But one day I am going to be like one of those people who have twenty books open in front of them, pencils everywhere, scribbling and calculating away furiously.

For now, there's Maple, my long-lost but never really gone life-companion.

Hi from Mika (my maple character). Okay, bye bye :)

Oh, happy day!

Been some time, again.
This is what I've been doing!

YEAH, RIGHT.

I wish my every-day life was exciting enough to blog about it everyday, but NO.

So how are things with you guys?

For me,well...

I've finished my A-Levels. Yay!

And now I'm back in college, doing something else.

I've stopped playing MapleStory, and stayed away from obsessing over K-drama's (mostly because I can't find any good (and new) enough to watch till the end...recommendations?)

Some of my family members have gone on vacation. 

And how do I feel about that?

If I could take a hammer and knock the skull out of their heads...let's just say- I might.

Been reading some books recently. And I found a good one.
I haven't been able to do that in AGES. It's chick-lit, of course, my trademark reading genre.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

It's for people who aren't too critical with the stuff they read, though. 

On the other hand, I've been doing some number painting. Been buying them from PIY. They're relatively expensive, but they turn out really pretty.

My gym membership is collecting dust as well (as my study material). I feel so bad, but not going feels so good!!

Does anyone know a good recipe for red velvet cupcakes and/or butter-cream icing?

Here are some movies I've watched AND liked recently. Perhaps you will, too?

WARNING! I may/may not have weird taste. 

(The movie poster that doesn't have an English title is called Chilling Romance)

Okay, that's it for now, friends.
See ya soon!
