Because there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it's sent away.

My last day in KK. Flight to KL tomorrow is at 7 something am, meaning airport at 5 something omg. I think I'll sleep all the way to KL haha. Then look like a zombie.

Been here for almost 3 weeks, how time flies. All I did was eat, sleep, go out. Repeat process. Sometimes skip the third part.

It was really good to be home. No place in the world could ever replace my hometown, I love it so much ♥

Going back means having to study again and stress again and no more yummy food.. oh yes, I gained weight I think. I feel fatter. TIME TO DIET AND EXERCISE WHEN I GET BACK, PROMISE. :)

Alright abrupt end. :P

2012-01-05T23:01:00.000+08:00

Finally got my laptop back after a couple of days without it.. :) the screen rosak totally out of nowhere.. it was just weird. Thank God I got it back before I have to leave again.. cos I can't do without it :p I think I'm addicted.

Ironically when I finally get back my laptop I don't seem to need it for skype. :P lol. God has a sense of humor.

2011-12-30T18:14:00.000+08:00

So I took a day trip to Kundasang today! :) It was beautiful as always. I'm so proud to be sabahan. ;) It was also a chance for me to play around with my dad's Canon 60D.

Boutique Cupcakes. My brother got it from a GIRL. Why no one buy me cupcakes wan? :P

Random hanging orchids.

TARAP! :) one of my favourite fruits, EVER. So delicious omg.

Splashing raindrops.

♥

Been coming to this place since I was really small. It hasn't changed much.

anddddd, my dad took a picture of me. :)

2011-12-28T00:11:00.000+08:00

Dim sum for breakfast yesterday. :) It was awesome. I can just never get enough of it.

Then I went for a family gathering, and as usual, it involved lots of food, gambling, and beer. ;p

Someone took out old ancient family albums. It was nice to look through it, given the fact that everything's so... digital these days. Nobody prints out pictures anymore.. so looking at these old old sepia-like pictures is actually pretty cool. And its funny to see how YOUNG the old people in my family used to look.. LOL. ;p

I feel bored la, don't know what to do everyday. I can't wait to skype again. THURSDAY FASTER COME LA PLEASE. :C

merry christmas

2011-12-25T14:48:00.000+08:00

hope everybody has a great one! ♥

Kisses.

2011-12-23T21:42:00.000+08:00

Its good to be home. :)

Currently how my house looks like, kinda. As in, SO CHRISTMASSY! Apparently my family had a party at my house the other day. Without me. T.T Which explains all the decorations. Oh and even though I didnt bring my camera back, (slaps face) I can still take pics cos I'm using my dad's camera. Woots. :)

Haul from my mum when they went on vacation. Again, WITHOUT ME. T.T But to compensate my mum got me a bunch of cool stuff. :) I actually asked for only a T shirt but she got me other cutesy stuff and lip balm and even a pair of really gorgeous tights cos she knew I was upset when my old pair got lost in my hostel. -.-

AND TODAY I WENT SHOPPING! :)

Gosh, it felt so good. :) I'd forgotten what its like to shop in malaysia, but seriously its AWESOME. :D I got a bunch of pretty stuff and the best part is its CHEAP! Cos of the christmas sales no doubt.

Vain pics coming up cos I haven't posted pics of myself in awhile. ;p

Gorgeous white lace top in mng. Loved it but didn't get it cos I decided it was still too expensive even after discount. :(

Top and miniskirt from padini. Almost bought the skirt but didn't for now. Might still wanna get it though. ;)

Pretty christmas decor of 1B. So festive!

AND the best thing is, my favourite makeup shop in the world FINALLY has an outlet in sabah! :D *squeals and hyperventilates*

I spent half a day shopping and still haven't attacked ALL the shops yet. :P Like I haven't been in cotton on yet. Maybe next time, after all I do have lots of time left here.. :) But I wasn't completely selfish! I did manage to get gifts for my parents for Christmas. ;p

I can't believe tomorrow's Christmas eve already! How time flies. :)

Merry Christmas everyone! ♥♥

xoxo

HOME SWEET HOME ♥

2011-12-22T03:54:00.000+08:00

Yes I'm back in malaysia! :) FINALLY. Currently sitting in LCCT (yes its almost 4 am, malaysia time) waiting cos my flight back home to sabah is 6 something am later. OH YEAH.

Chris and I. we look exhausted. :P

K time to check in. Next post will be when i'm home! :D

xoxo

2011-12-10T09:44:00.001+08:00

-michael buble, everything. ♥

60 days and counting. it just gets more perfect everyday.

xoxo

mimi came to visit! ♥

2011-11-29T09:33:00.000+08:00

We had a good weekend. :) This is us standing outside my church (with what we call pose kampung, lol) and the weather around here is getting EXTREMELY cold, hence, the shorts and tights look that I couldn't really wear back home cos it was too hot :b hehe.

Oh and coincidentally, today is amy's birthday! :) happy birthday darling! I know you read this sometimes and this time I really hope you see this. teehee :D come visit us again soon.

Only 3 more weeks and its time to go home! I'm so excited. :D

xoxo

2011-11-22T22:14:00.002+08:00

Goa, sunset. :)

This looks like heaven to me. ♥

2011-11-10T07:24:00.001+08:00

It's only 4 something in the morning and I'm sitting in a semi dark room clutching a femur and mumbling its muscle attachments. -___- what has my life become. :p

Good morning world! Today is physio practical day where i become a masochist and prick myself multiple times with a lancet and suck blood out of my finger. :p

XOXO

30 days.

2011-11-09T15:54:00.000+08:00

I'm currently sitting on the roof. Of my 5 floor hostel. :D

I love it here. :) the thing about me is, I've always loved huge airy spaces. I can't stand sitting in a small area, it makes me feel constrained and claustrophobic. That's why the roof really appeals to me.. its a huge space and its super windy in the afternoons. There's sunlight too which keeps me warm and i love. :D i come here every evening when the sun's about to set and because its exam week, cindy n I study here everyday.

Being up here I can see everything! From one angle I see the gate of our uni. From another angle i see loads of buildings, I assume its the town? (If you can even call it a town, teehee, I'm so mean.) :p even in the mornings when its freezing I'd come up here and just stare at everything below. Oh and there are so freaking many birds. Crows, pigeons and hawks. Plus lots of tiny nameless ones. LOL. :p

I can't believe I just wrote two paragraphs about my roof. (Chehhh I'm calling it MY roof aredy now. Hah. :p) thats what exams do to me. Makes me pro in elaborating about some small random topic. :p exam's going ok, by the way. And by ok i mean I'm relieved its passing by quite fast. Although anat theory belum tentu boleh pass. :p

Oh and also, ahem. Coming to the title of the post. Haha :D to me.. the past month has had the happiness equivalent of like 30 days of me being on my favourite island back home, lying on the beach and enjoying the sunshine :) and that's saying a lot bearing in mind I come from sabah and our islands are awesome. ;p Hehe.

Yeap. 30 days of sunshine. :) may there be more to come? :)

XOXO

anatomy is killing me.

2011-11-05T15:29:00.001+08:00

I'm not even exaggerating. -__- its so hard! Human body, y u so complicated?! *inserts y-u-no-guy face here* :p

I need to get through next week! Then I can breathe again.

For now I can't sleep, I can't exercise, all I'm allowed to do is study. :p

2011-10-27T01:39:00.000+08:00

After 2 whole plus months being in india i finally picked up my beloved DSLR and started taking pictures again. :) I'm amazed that I still know how to work the manual functions and stuff. I feel like its been forever.

Diwali is just too festive, I really HAD TO take pictures. :P

Kolam outside viityaa's door. :)

Fireworks were really loud. and somewhat scary. :P

Other pictures up on facebook. I must have taken like, 200 pictures! But after I delete all the blur ones and epic fail ones I was left with 100 plus la. hehe. :)

2011-10-27T00:11:00.000+08:00

*taken with the Vignette photo app on my phone. I'm a big fan.*

JUST CAUSE I WAS BORED.

happy diwali everyone! the firecrakers are SO loud outside, i can't study or sleep. LOL.

disney magic ;)

2011-10-25T22:09:00.000+08:00

For the first time, I really feel it. And I find silence comfortable, and i can be myself and not have to worry about looking perfect all the time. I can breathe, I feel relaxed and i am amazed that despite the huge amount of stress medical school is putting on me, i honestly feel.. happy. :)

2011-10-14T23:04:00.001+08:00

I KNOW I HAVENT UPDATED IN FOREVER. Been too busy freaking out and studying and well.. having fun. :) ok pictures.

Malaysian night was.. last week I think. Sorry. Bit blur. :p

Some of us JPA nerds. Markos, Mich and Nana came to see us! :) Loves.

Cindy and I. Her eyes are sooooo gorgeous!

With the guys.

And with the girls. Picture's abit blurry but I love the effect.

My own vanity, but I like this picture. :D HAHA. What? we both look pretty here. sehhh. ;p

Oh, and I cut my hair. :D Myself. With Yuen Quan's help. teehee. I like it although not everyone does. *cough*

9,10,11.

What else? Oh. Trinity is going on now. So its too noisy outside. So I can't study. So I'm blogging after not updating for ages. :P And... oh exam is in 3 weeks and I am SO unprepared. :(

bye bye now. ♥

2011-10-14T22:27:00.000+08:00

Do you think I'm wonderful? she asked him one day as they leaned against the trunk of a petrified maple. "No", he said. "Why?" "Because so many girls are wonderful. I imagine hundreds of men have called their loves wonderful today, and it's only noon. You couldn't be something that hundreds of others are."

- Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

(saw this on one of the blogs i bookmarked. Made me smile. (: )

2011-10-06T00:38:00.000+08:00

I'm surprised that I still get people visiting my blog. :p i haven't updated in forever, I'm well aware. :p haha.. I've been way too busy. I know right. Same old excuse all the time. :p

So i probably havent been studying as much (or as obsessively) as I used to. Honestly speaking its cause I'm tired. :( and i know that if i stress too much now, then towards the exam time I'm going to be too tired to study, or I'm going to be sick. :p and also i know for sure that God is never going to abandon me.. as long as i did study then i have nothing to worry about.. I'll pull through somehow. :) faith is believing in a power greater than yourself and trusting in Him.

It's my brother's pmr exams this week! He's really smart even though I call him dumb all the time. :p haha. I have total confidence in his ability, I'm pretty sure he's gonna be ok.

I'm blogging using my phone right now btw. Lazy to on laptop. :p oh and spoke on the phone with Sam last night. Epic. Love you samson. :) I'm quite sure you read this so yeah. :)

Gonna fall asleep now. :p kthxbai.

2011-09-27T19:31:00.001+08:00

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST WEEK!

♥ ;)

and thats all I'm saying for now. :P

OMG exams are looming. November will come very very very soon, I can just sense it. ARGH nervousness. I study everyday yet I feel terrified, whats wrong with me ah? :P

I miss home, too. Here I'm honestly beginning to treat Cindy and Yuen Quan like my family. ;) I think honestly I'd go crazy without them. :( Cindy's my mum and YQ's my older sister. :) I'm a baby, as always.

OH and now I insist everyone call me Li Shan. I'm tired of being Karen. Time to embrace my Chinese-ness and be proud of it. *winks.

I'm finally beginning to feel like I fit in here. :) I go jogging all the time now, it makes me feel really happy. I can finally comfortably (without screaming or fainting, lol) prick my fingertips during hematology practicals, and blood will flow. And my classmates are being super nice to me! AND plus my waist got another inch smaller. WOOTS! ;)

Life is good at the moment despite me being busy studying ALL THE TIME. But somehow, even if I don't know it yet, I think God will find a way to pull me through it. I have nothing to worry about, I just have to have faith and trust in His plans for me.

Current picture of me. no edits or anything, I just grabbed my camera and took the picture right here. :P hahaha. Yeap I look tired. Long long day. :|

xoxo!

all i can say is it was enhanting to meet you.

2011-09-15T16:57:00.000+08:00

I sense possibility, but I'm too afraid to reach out and grab it and instead find out that it wasn't real at all.

It's Thursday already. Seriously, not to sound cliched, but seriously. Doesn't time just FLY?

2011-09-11T13:13:00.001+08:00

Time for my usual sunday morning blogpost. ;D Yeap I switch on my laptop and blog only once a week, see how good i am? ;)

Anyways, we had freshers night like.. 2 nights ago? Kinda like an orientation night (at least, I think thats what we'd call it in malaysia.) I was abiiiiiit shy cos I was the only chinese girl wearing a saree. :p but my local friends kept asking me to wear one so I did. Its the one I already own, from malaysia. I keep wearing it to functions, i know, but I do love the color. :)

Shruti, who's a big baby. Or at least, acts like one. ;) she's from Bahrain.

Malaysians ;) only some of us though. Actually got many more. LOL :P

And last night we went to the senior guys' house to celebrate mooncake festival which is supposed to be this coming tuesday. It was so AWESOME. There were probably like.. 50? of us? (sorry, excuse my sucky estimation skills lol) ALL chinese and ALL the seniors were extremely friendly and cool people. AND this is the house we went to! ♥

And oh the senior girls are AMAZING cooks, I kid you not. My stomach was super happy yesterday. The sambal was like OMAIGOD delish. I literally could not stop eating. :O

Prawn sambal. DAMN I miss home.

MOONCAKE ♥

And we juniors made dumplings! :D

The senior girls even MADE mooncake. Yes, MADE. Is there NO end to their talents? :P (it was green tea flavored and delicious, btw. :P)

Crowding round the table taking food. teehee. :)

I am in such a good mood. ;p

Anyway. I woke up at 7am today, on my ONE free day with no class, to squeeze in a jogging and exercise sesh with Phoebe and Cindy. It was AWESOME and I feel so good about myself! This, coming from a girl who used to NEVER exercise and HATE sweating. Now I have to go gym everyday or else I feel weird and fat. :P haha, its so weird how I'm changing. :|

I got a high fever few days ago, totally outta nowhere. I don't even know why I keep getting sick. :| I slept a full 10 or 11 hours and took rehydration salts and only then the fever went away. I think I'm dehydrated. :P

Also, everyone tells me I'm shrinking. :(

Okay beginning to ramble. Bye bye now! ♥

the SDM-ians visit ♥

2011-09-04T12:18:00.000+08:00

Morning darlings! :) Its sunday morning already. My favourite day. Anyway, this week was super relaxing cos cossss we had two days holiday! :) It was one of the gods' birthday or something like that, so we get holiday. :D And it was so meriah. I saw people dancing on the streets, LOL. Yeap, only in India. :P

AND it was extra special for us BECAUSE...... our SDM friends came from Dharwad to visit! :) I can't even fully express how excited I was. hehe. :) First time having visitors mah. Excuse our patheticness. LOL. Brought them around to Maruti Galli for shopping and of course, FOOD FEST! X)

Dinner with the girls. :) I've missed Sasa and Nana SO MUCH omg.

I super love this picture! IDK who took it though. :p

GROUP PIC! From belgaum with love. ;P

Went to cake walk, its like an indian version of secret recipe. They make very cheap and quite yummy cakes la :) FRUIT TART! didn't eat this though. Bailey's cake was calling out my name. ;)

Lunch at Adarsha (its a hotel.) extremely yummy lamb pie thingy. Cheap also! I think less than rm12. :)

Christine has a habit of randomly taking pictures of me. -.- My addiction to my phone is captured here. :O

Saw a cow at the roadside. Its so tame! And cute too, don't you think? :D LOL.

The guys. Mark has a beard now. Or the beginnings of one, anyway. MINDBLOWN. :O

:) ♥

The BFFs. ;) I like this pic, I used my Vignette app (on my phone) to take it. I LOVE THAT APP, the pictures turn out all vintage and gorgeous. ;)

Checking out saris. Very cheap here, compared to the cut-throat prices we had to pay in malaysia. =.=

And I bought a peacock feather from a guy selling them on the street.

Oh and happy Eid Mubarak to my muslim friends! ♥

I miss home very much right now. I've been here for a month but it feels more like 10. :P

Today was such a long day. :(

2011-08-24T21:43:00.000+08:00

The skull in my room. Isn't he fascinating? :D

Anyway today was so tiring. Tell me, does life in med school EVER get any easier? :( Everyday my eyes tear and burn (BURN, seriously) because of dissection where I have to cut open the cadaver and breathe in the lovely lovely scent of formalin. :P UGH. I feel bored of dissection already. :P

I love learning all these nerdy nerdy things about the human body, I just don't like living in fear everyday wondering if the lecturer will pick on me. :(

and a whole week flew by.

2011-08-21T15:47:00.001+08:00

I've been in India for three weeks already, oh how time flies. :) before I know it it'll be time to go home (fingers crossed ;) )

Anyways my whole week was busy as usual. Random top of my head updates?

I got a set of bones already, yay yay. Loves. Even if they are a bit mismatched.
Went for family lunch with the seniors yesterday. I feel like I'm back home, hearing all that mandarin :')

us, minus the seniors. :P hahaha.

With the crazy roomie who laughs ALL THE TIME. ;)

Bought the most gorgeous pair of gold ballet flats yesterday for rm25, more or less.
Had Chinese food few days ago.
Class got cancelled on Monday cos of the anti corruption protest thing. I was abit blur when all those men burst into our lecture hall and yelled in hindi. LOL.
Study study study.

Back to work! :P

2011-08-14T18:35:00.001+08:00

teehee! booked my ticket to go back to malaysia already ;) I'll be back in sabah on the 22nd of december. WOOTS! I'm really looking forward to it. Suddenly my textbooks don't seem nearly so threatening and scary. :) I'm just like studying bit by bit everyday and hopefully its enough for me. ;)

Went out yesterday to explore! :D I love shopping in india, seriously, the things are really cheap. Pretty flats for only 160 rupees! Thats like, less than RM12. The only downside is the fact that its very rainy and the ground it quite muddy so its hard to try on shoes. (these are stalls not shops. :|)

Went to a different area for lunch yesterday. (family lunch with the BDS people. ;) ) and this is the area. SO many beggars. The kids can be quite scary actually. They started pulling my arm and when I turned away to avoid them they started poking my back. :P I got a bit freaked out and ribena boy had to save me by chasing them away. :P hahahaha.

Buffaloes crossing. They are SO calm, seriously, with all the honking going on, I'm surprised they don't freak out and go crazy.

In an auto.

Place we had dinner. ;) It has an indoor pool, omg. More glamorous than in sabah la. ;p LOL.

Time to go get ready to go to church! Its been a good weekend. And tomorrow is a holiday cos its India's independence day! :) Except for me no difference la, I'll probably spend all day with my books. ;p

xoxo!

2011-08-11T20:48:00.000+08:00

My life has been so hectic lately, omg. This is my schedule:

Wake up. Brush teeth, wash face etc. Study. Breakfast. Go to class. Class class class. Come back. Shower. Study. Dinner. Study. Sleep. REPEAT six days a week.

OH EM GEE. So this is what its like to study at med school. :( I never study this much in my life before. and its just the beginning. :| oh God help me. :P

On the other hand, dissecting was a lot of fun at first but now I'm starting to get a bit bored of it. :P hehe. The smell of formalin makes my eyes water.

What else ah. Oh yeah I want SO BADLY to go home in december but I hear tickets are running out FAST and I still dont have my holiday timetable so IDK. Sighs. Leave it to God perhaps? :) I'm sure He wont leave me stranded here anyways. ;)

♥

so, india.

2011-08-07T00:19:00.001+08:00

THIS IS MY UNI. :)

My hostel. :D (international one; the local girls stay at a different hostel.)

My view everyday when I walk to class. Its nice to walk in the morning, cos its super cold and IDK, i just like it :) (class at different building. not like KTT anymore. :P)

I think this was dinner one day. I forgot (cos I take pics of food all the time, lol) Food here is yummy. I'm never gonna lose weight, SERIOUSLY.)

Went walking around out of uni and this is one of the sweet shops selling traditional indian kuih. ;) it looked yummy but this was only day 2 and I wasnt brave enough to try any. My roomie did though, and she said it was awesome. Plus she didnt get sick from it. :) )

Fruit stall. Fruits here are cheap.. even pomegranates are like RM 0.70 for THREE of them. I'm eating one right now in fact, hehe.

We have dissection 4 times a week. This is MY cadaver. :) Dissection is fun actually, although the smell of formalin can be overwhelming at times. :P Its all good though for now. :)

And after showing the cadaver, I end by showing a plate of yummy food. :) TEEHEE.

Oh by the way, this is roughly how india's streets look like. ;) haha this one quite clean. some are very dirty. :P

2011-08-03T10:03:00.000+08:00

Just a very small part of campus. LOL its HUGE, I still haven't walk finish the whole place yet. :P Very pretty, lots of trees stuff. hehe. :)

Belgaum is nice. :) It tends to rain at random and sudden moments so I now carry an umbrella everywhere. Its super cold at night and the wind is really strong so all night last night it sounded as if someone was pounding on my window.

Hungry. Bye bye now! :)

2011-07-29T15:37:00.000+08:00

Present from my dad. I wish I had a perfume that smells like this.. SO delicious OMG.

HAHA :D

2011-07-28T16:33:00.000+08:00

I really do love my pink things. ;)

enjoying my last few days of fast internet in the comfort of my own room. :)

Packing's going good, as in the picture above, I'm bringing most of my pretty pink things to remind me of home. :P And I'm proud of myself, I only packed in my bag ONE PAIR of shoes. ONE! (cos I figured I can buy more shoes there anyways.)

Bleargh. I don't know what I feel right now.

Guess what?

2011-07-26T14:53:00.000+08:00

I'm leaving this saturday. :)

Yeah I only found out today, that I'm flying from KL to India on Sunday. As in 31st. So I'll be going to KL on Saturday morning (cos lets face it, I need a MASSIVE dose of retail therapy before leaving my country. ;) )

Right now I'm packing my bag and there it is, still quite empty. :P Most of my clothes are short shorts and dresses, which I can't bring! So I'm like staring sadly into my closet at all the pretty things I have that I can't even use. :( Only packing boring things like jeans and tees and tights.

What else to pack?! Clothes, medicine, food, medical dictionary, shoes. OMG I forgot shoes. Anyway. I think I'll continue packing later. *procrastinates.

My brother recently got his hair cut as you can see. Its a ♥ shape undercut! HAHA he is SO lovesick, I don't care if he denies it. :P

And today I cooked lunch! :D I am so rajin, woohoo! :D

Headless fish. Brownie ate up the heads.

Chicken.

And sawi.

omnomnom. ;D

2011-07-20T15:40:00.001+08:00

The sky is orange! :)

I hope we can meet up in india. :|

Teehee. He's such a dork. :D

And THIS was orgasmic. sighs. :)

Nat goes back to KL today. Everyone's leaving! :( SAD. Hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll see you again in December! :)

Meanwhile, I'm STILL waiting for my phone call. WHEN AM I GONNA FLY? :(

I bite the heads off gummy bears.

2011-07-18T21:42:00.001+08:00

Its a habit. :D

and the packing begins. :(

2011-07-17T14:56:00.001+08:00

I HATE PACKING.

So annoying having to stuff everything into my bag. To decide what to bring. And then to feel like, "Omg, I don't think I should bring this, but what if I'm already there and I desperately want it??" :P

So, my updated list:

1. ~~Adapters~~
2. ~~Oxford Medical Dictionary~~
3. ~~Color pencils~~
4. ~~Stationery~~
5. ~~FOOD~~
6. ~~black ballet flats (if I can find a nice pair)~~
7. black tights.
8. more oversized tees. (thats going to be my staple outfit in India, lol)
9. ~~Medicine (panadol etc)~~
10. Jeans. (so far I only got two pairs. not enough)
11. ~~Raincoat (rainy season when I get there)~~
12. Extensions (I mean for my room, not my head hahaha)

Making progress! Oh and Gavin chatted with me today, apparently Belgaum is nice! And its really cold there because of the monsoon season. Damn. I get cold even in an air-con room in Malaysia, what more rainy season in India. :P But he says things there are cheap! And that its just a matter of adapting there. Yeah okay.

Oh I printed out pictures I love of people I love (LOL) so that I can stick it on my walls in India and stare at them when I get lonely. Or sad or something.

I've been staying home for the past two days! Watching How I Met Your Mother, totally addictive. But I'm getting a tiny bit bored. :| Samson, Y U NO GO ONLINE? :)

Yesterday's breakfast, a perfect plate of tuaran mee. :D Can't get this in India. :( heck, can't even get in KL. LOL.

And its back to belgaum i go.

2011-07-15T12:58:00.001+08:00

I really think God has a sense of humor. :P

I just got a call from JPA, they offered me the chance to go back to KLE again instead of JJM. AND.... I took up the offer.

Its like a dream come true.. But again I have to change my mindset la. Its so hard, like at first I was so ready to go to Belgaum, then I thought, okay, I'm going to Davangere and it was hard to accept, but just as I already did accept the fact, AGAIN I get switched back to Belgaum. ARGH so tiring!

So nope, not one more month in Malaysia. I don't know when I'm flying, but most probably it'll be in a week or two? Hopefully three. HAHA.. I just don't feel ready to leave, but now I have to set my mind to the fact that I don't have a lot of time left in KK.

I'm scared, by the way. Wouldn't you be? And its so ironic that just a few hours ago I posted "a whole month more to go" :P Like I said, God has a sense of humor.

Kirthana and I will still be roomies, yay. ♥ Oh, and apparently they offered only 5 places to us JPA students. Which means that this year in KLE, there are only 5 Malaysian medic students. That scares me. :P

I don't really have any concrete reason to stay in KK right now anyway, I mean, all my friends are leaving and all. Might as well go to India earlier and start studying my brains out, yeah? This also means I have to start thinking about packing and things to bring:

1. ~~Adapters~~
2. ~~Oxford Medical Dictionary~~
3. Color pencils
4. Stationery
5. FOOD
6. black ballet flats (if I can find a nice pair)
7. black tights.
8. more oversized tees. (thats going to be my staple outfit in India, lol)
9. Medicine (panadol etc)
10. Jeans. (so far I only got two pairs. not enough)
11. Raincoat (rainy season when I get there)
12. Extensions (I mean for my room, not my head hahaha)

Damn. So much to dooooo.

Top of my head. I can't think right now! :O

We are the black frame specs wearing GANG :D

2011-07-15T09:53:00.001+08:00

These two look so happy here, hahaha.

Despite the orange hue, I think the beach is super pretty at night. ;)

I have a whole month more before India. It hasn't even registered in my head yet. I haven't even bought all that I need. Meh. I'll think about it closer to the date I have to go. ;P

I think we're all growing up so fast. :(

"If two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back." -Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl. (I LOVE THAT SHOW)

Today its like all my sentences are totally unrelated. I guess I just have a lot on my mind right now.

just a random note

2011-07-12T22:02:00.001+08:00

I haven't updated in days. So I thought I'd just post a picture of my face. LOL. I've been feeling kinda pretty lately. (despite the bunny teeth you see in the pic. I need braces) Or maybe I'm just happy. :)

Quote Audrey Hepburn. Happy girls are prettiest. *wink wink*

But friday is just coming way too soon for my liking. :( WHY OH WHY.

Oh KLE students fly to India tomorrow! Good luck darlings. Christine, Gavin, Viityaa, Phoebe, Mei Ling, and the rest I cannot remember, sorry. :|

God bless! ♥

2011-07-08T10:14:00.000+08:00

Beach..

Coconut. ♥

Satay. ♥

Long, ~~meaningless~~ conversations.

And I just killed another day. :D

xoxo karen.

p/s. I cannot wait to see Nat, Sasa and Tan tonight. OMG its been too long. :P

of food and conversations :p

2011-07-05T22:55:00.001+08:00

First words my brother said to me just now when I got home : "OMG so you finally decided to come home! I haven't seen you in dinosaur years!"

:P How he exaggerates. Haha but I haven't seen him and my dad for more than 24 hours la LOL. :P

I have been out for the past three days eating and eating and I swear I must be fat now. X) Eat more before going India, yay yay. I'm so happy to get to catch up with everyone! I swear we're all almost 20 (going to be, anyways) and we still act like high school kids. We talk about dumb things and argue and talk and argue and talk some more. Good times.

Playing some random football game with morgan. I lost. :'(

Muffin has long hair now :O *mindblown*

And YES that is a condom hahaha. Its really cute aint it :D

The beach was so beautiful today ;)

Hmm lazy to put more pictures aredy. Exhaustion taking over my head.. haha. goodnight ♥

i ♥

2011-07-04T08:25:00.001+08:00

That feeling you get when everything just falls into place like it was meant to be.

2011-07-02T15:33:00.000+08:00

Was wandering around karamunsing aimlessly today and found this! I was so excited cos I've wanted a military inspired jacket since FOREVER and now I finally found an affordable one ;) only rm50. And its not cotton or cheap material, its thick velvet. SO bringing it to India. Don't care if its hot! lol.

Loving the vintage-looking buttons. But I wish its gold and the crest is engraved. Contemplating going on eBay to find the buttons I want. :D

xoxo

You have to stand for something, or else you'll fall for anything.

2011-07-02T08:16:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was just........ AWESOME. :) Best day I've had in a long time. ;) Sin City was good, Sucker Punch was even better. And catching up with him was good too. ♥

Oh and pre-departure was okay. At least I got to shop in KL. The shopping there is so awesome. I didn't realise that I really missed KL! :O Sabah is home but KL is still shopping heaven.. haha

And my departure date is finally confirmed-16th August. If I were still going to KLE the departure date would be 13th July, omg. Blessing in disguise, huh? ;) We got our blazers and our money and all the info we need. Now its time to say goodbye. :(

I feel like I didn't really get a chance to say bye to everyone because even when I said bye its like the truth hasn't registered in my head- we're LEAVING. And won't be seeing each other again in Malaysia. :O The Sabahans okay la, cos we can see each other anytime. But my Sarawak friends and Semenanjung friends! So sad. :(

Oh well. The sad posts will come at a later date, when its almost time for me to leave. A whole month more, but who's counting?

xoxo

2011-06-27T22:56:00.000+08:00

I drove (Yes, I DROVE, hahaha and no accident lol) to Karambunai yesterday cos I was missing the beach and my brother wanted to jog so yeah. It rained not long after we got there though. :( I was sad. And I was bored so I took pictures of the rain falling into the pond. With the shutter speed fast enough I can see (TA-DA look at the pic) the waves caused by those teeny tiny little water droplets falling into the pond.

CAMERA GEEK MOMENT. :D Seriously I know anyone who is good with DSLRs and happen to be reading this will probably laugh at my sakai-ness, but the thing is, only recently I started really playing around with the features on my canon. I used to just turn the knob to AUTO and BOOM! Let the camera work itself out. Lol. Now I feel abit like I'm cheating if I use Auto so I stick to the manual mode and do the adjustments myself. EHEHEHE.

OK enough talking hahaha bye. :)

Oh and the panda I'm trying to make will cause me to stay up all night. Thanks jerom. LOL.

2011-06-26T17:23:00.000+08:00

Obviously I'm gonna be one of those people who can never stop working cos once I have a holiday I get really bored and cranky. :P hahaha. BORED!

I can't wait to see everyone on the 30th! These days I kinda just walk around the house and say "boring!" 50 million times. LOL. What is it with holidays? When I was in KL I was all the time thinking "I can't waittttt for the holidays, can't wait to go home, wheeee!" And now I'm sitting around going like "I can't wait to start studying again."

:P

ANYWAYS. These belong to my brother. He got them in Japan when we went last September and hoarded them away til now! HAHA he's such a hamster.

I fill my days with photography, shopping, and looking through makeup and fashion blogs for inspiration. :D hahaha omg someone entertain me please. :P

A completely random little thought. I WISH I COULD GO TO PARIS! :(

xoxo ♥

This is for Sean ♥

2011-06-23T10:22:00.015+08:00

Sean! I made a gif for you ;) And your real present I give you when I see you on the 30th kay :)

AND I'm posting this early, before your HUGE number of fb b'day wishes that you'll get tomorrow.

xoxo ♥

2011-06-21T21:42:00.004+08:00

Yeah so I haven't actually typed a proper post in ages! So I thought, hmm, maybe I'll try to write something finally. :P Not just pictures.

Ok. What to write about? Hmm. Yeah. I haven't been up to much lately. I just want to be really relaxed and stay home. Cause when med school starts in August I'm pretty sure I won't get to just sit around and sleep or watch TV anymore. :| MY LIFE WILL BE OVER just sayin'. :P So right now, all I do everyday is: read, lie around, eat, exercise, sleep, take pictures.

I'm trying my hardest to learn all the functions on my DSLR. Cause it seems a waste to have a posh camera but not actually know how to USE it properly.

One of the pictures I took today. :3

My makeup brushes ♥

Anyways, I am really looking forward to going to KL on the 29th. :) MONEY. lol and also, well, meeting my friends. I miss them all like OMG. I'm just so used to living in KTT where there are always always people around. Like, if my housemates aren't around then I could always go opposite to Kogi's place, etc. Things like that. I miss that alot.

I wondered why I don't feel as close to my high school frie

nds as I do to my college friends. I remember talking it over with Sean and we both agreed that its probably cause spending 24/7 (like, literally 24/7) with people will make you waaaayyyy closer to them (ie my college darlings.) Very true. I totally miss those heart to hearts with Sean. ♥

Oh man. I really am looking forward to the 29th. :|

I was just thinking again, I really want to do it all over again. :) (and by this statement I'm talking about that crazy night after our Tamil final exams hehehe wink.)

xoxo ♥

Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl. Becauseeee she has dealt with so much in her life (her parents were both convicted drug traffickers and she grew up without them) but she's turned out super successful, not to mention GORGEOUS. :)

And she has awesome fashion sense. 'Nuff said.

I think it would have to be this pretty person. :D haha last year was not an easy year for me, I always had "issues" I needed to rant about and she was always always there. :) Never judges, never gives her opinion if I don't ask, and she's a great listener. ;)

A picture that makes you laugh

2011-06-17T22:10:00.005+08:00

I had trouble choosing just ONE (so I chose two) cos seriously when Amy and I take photos together it almost ALWAYS end up looking really funny. HAHA. But I had to include one with Thanneer. Cos most of the time we laugh hardest when something involves him. LOL kutti nandu?

Ok anyway. This pic is funny cos... we ended up not doing what we wanted to do. :C

NEVERMIND STILL GOT PRE-DEPARTURE BRIEFING MUAHAHAHA.

And this one... just funny lah.

A picture of your most treasured item

2011-06-17T22:02:00.003+08:00

Its a huge pink shoebox filled to the brim with cards, letters and tiny presents from people I know. ;) There are cards from when I was like.. 2! LOL. I had generous and sweet Godparents who sent me cards and stuff. And the white shoes are my FIRST PAIR OF SHOES. :D

I think this would be my most treasured item cos other stuff (like camera, phone etc) can be replaced if I ever lose them but all these things in this box can't. ;)

2011-06-11T19:38:00.002+08:00

I finally watched X-Men! :D I didn't watch the X-men movies previously so I thought I wouldn't understand anything and have to end up quietly eating popcorn while Tan watches (HAHA) but I was wrong! :D It was a good movie. Lucas Till and James McAvoy FTW!! So handsome omg I was drooling. ;)

Oh and I finally got around to clearing my shoe cupboard, AND I found a gorgeous pair of pumps I totally forgot I had! I was gonna post a picture of it here BUT I'm lazy now. Hehe. Besok sja la. :P

Oh and today I found a super cute floral dress for only RM25. :D

I also had the most delicious amazing bowl of pan mien in Damai thanks to Tan. :D HAHA!

Yeap it was a good day. ;)

I'm only leaving KK in August. :D

HAHA! *happy already*

God has huge, great, amazing plans for me which I can't even fathom. I really shouldn't doubt anymore, just let Him do His thing. ;p

2011-06-08T23:34:00.000+08:00

Interesting. :D

:(

2011-06-08T12:43:00.003+08:00

OMG.

Yeah so I'm not going to KLE Belgaum anymore.

SO EFFING DISAPPOINTED. I'm going to JJM Devangere.

Got a call from the JPA officer in charge of us, apparently the medical uni of KLE (JNMC) isn't recognized by Malaysia anymore so yeah.

I'm SO SAD seriously. I was really really looking forward to going to KLE. I can't even... omg.

penyakit malas.

2011-06-03T23:21:00.004+08:00

BORING!

haha I don't know what to do everyday D: Mostly I talk to my dogs, eat, sleep, watch TV. Oh and I make it a point to run on the treadmill everyday cause well, I don't want to get fat. (cause I'm eating alot. Oh pork,beef,veggies,whatever that is edible. :D)

hmm what else ah. Bored to blog these days cause there's just well, nothing to blog about, basically. :P *looks around for a photo to post for fun*

Nope can't find anything nice. I HAVE been taking pictures lately (just to practice) but I'm just lazy to get my memory card and put it in my laptop. (its in the same room. Just on my makeup table. JUST SO NEAR......... but I MALAS.)

Oh god I'm getting SOOOOOOO lazy.

Goodnight everyone. :P

i went to the beach yesterday.

Oh how I've missed the feeling of sand between my toes and the salty smell of the sea. :) Its something I'm always going to miss when I'm in India.

So my dad and I jogged along the shore for AGES. It felt really good! (we ran barefoot in the sand. :D) and I couldn't resist chasing after crabs when I saw them running (running? Whatever) on the sand. And my dad caught me a fish! It was blind, kesian kan, poor fish. :C

Haha I just woke up so my words are like kinda weird and unrelated right now. :P

The water looked so inviting ;)

Kid on the beach playing with bubbles :D

Hah and oh, now I have a fever because I spent too long under the sun. :C Sigh.

the feeling you get when you laugh so hard you can't even breathe.
counting the stars at night and trying to spot constellations.
hours of endless conversations with close friends.
road trips.
screaming and head banging in karaoke.
walks on the beach at night.
taking photographs to capture those perfect moments.
getting to know someone.
Laughing at jokes that don't even make sense.
walks under the rain.
hugs. :)

its just life, live it. ♥

2011-05-25T16:21:00.003+08:00

(considering we only had two days to choreograph and practice and it was the OPENING dance omg.)

oh and everyone says I don't smile when I dance. Its not cause I kena paksa! (not really, anyway) its cause I'm nervous about forgetting my steps! Hence muka serious. :P

2011-05-03T17:46:00.002+08:00

time passes by so fast I just can't believe it. I feel like I just got here, barely settled in, and then I look at the calender and its like, OMG, its 3rd of may already. I'm flying back on the 28th, meaning I have around 25 days to hang around here and see my friends, and then BAM its back to KK, back to my family and dogs, and then probably a month later, time to leave Malaysia. :C

I FEEL SO SAD!

I feel like finally I'm growing up and getting OLD (OMG) and I have to actually start studying to be a doctor soon! D: it all sounds so serious and I really feel like.. I'm not ready. :(

I'm not ready to say bye to my family and friends and my country! Not to mention my freedom! :P I'm not ready to be so serious and stuff, I'm pretty much still like a kid actually. :P

ARGH SO SAD AND TERRIFIED GOT NO WAY TO PUT IT ALL DOWN INTO WORDS.

oh but the only silver lining on my cloud of despair and misery? :P I don't have a boyfriend, so that's one less person to say goodbye to. :)

I'm on the right track, baby, i was born this way ♥

2011-04-27T10:40:00.002+08:00

Roomie's singing the song and actually, I kinda like the lyrics. :3

Lying on my bed studying kannada. Oh yes, exam is in a few hours (and only now I start studying hihihi)

Oh and also,

WE'VE GOT NEW PETS!

Germ, Gotthila, Tavalei and Lemonade.

:P We are very bored girls.

The greatest love story the world has ever known

2011-04-24T13:27:00.002+08:00

The story of how Jesus Christ, God and creator of the universe suffered and died for sinners.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Could there be any greater love than this?

Every time we sin, we add to the burden and weight of the Cross He carried up to Calvary. Every time we lose ourselves and turn away from Him, we inflict more pain on Him. Every time we give in to temptation, we nail Him to the cross once again.

And when He gave up His spirit, He opened up the gates of heaven so that we may one day join Him in His kingdom. His precious blood washed away our sins.

BUT, the story has a happy ending. Because on this day, 2000 years ago, He rose from the dead just as He said He would. The joy we feel at this time, I think, is actually greater than the joy of Christmas.

Happy Easter everyone. :) ♥

waiya waiya!

2011-04-20T01:24:00.003+08:00

so tomorrow is tamil night! :) Housemates and I slaved away for days making the lecturers' invites pretty. We made twenty cards in three days omg.

And then there were dance practices, I am totally and extremely kayu. :( I just can't shake in that sexy way like the indian girls can. :( boohoo. must learn before flying to India. hehe.

everything is settled though, time to just sleep and prepare for tomorrow. I hope its not embarrassing. :|

xoxo karen

2011-04-10T17:52:00.004+08:00

Exams, oh, exams. :|

Whatever! Its over anyways, and besides, just KI exams, don't really care. I studied super hard though, I guess I'll always be a nerd inside. :P

And on thursday we went to Klang where I bought my first Punjabi suit! So many to choose from, but not as pretty or fun to shop for as a saree. :( Anyways I bought a green one. Green/blue-green/turquoise is ALWAYS my colour. :P

Oh and yesterday we went to the aquarium! IT WAS SO FUN OMG. :) And by "we", I mean my housemates and I. We headed to KLCC's Aquaria, and then after that we shopped (okay fine, WINDOW shopped at KLCC) and then took the train to Midvalley where we shopped some more, had dinner, and then headed back to Nilai

tank of piranhas. Imagine falling in. CRUNCH!

I wanna post more photos (i took 200) but I'm lazy! :P Oh and this was my first time bringing OUT my DSLR. :) heh heh. Oh and now I'm broke.

Toodles!

xoxo ♥

i changed my mind.

2011-04-03T00:20:00.003+08:00

Kannada is so much more interesting and the writing is way more pretty than Hindi now. :)

Okay fine, I'm being biased, only saying this cos I totally like Mr. DS (HAHAHAHA) he has such a nice voice! *melts*

But its true though! "Kannada writing is beautiful"! (quotes Loon Han ;P) haha.

KI life is awesome because I get to watch Hindi movies with my housemates (who totally love them) and we say we're doing homework! :D

Exams are this coming Monday, ending on Thursday where I'm going to Klang to shop for punjabi suit cause I already have a saree and I hear its waaaaay cheaper in India anyways.

Oh-em-gee. I can't believe I'm really going. :O seems so unreal.

family day :D

HAHA i can't believe this but I actually had fun at family day yesterday lolol. All thanks to Thanneer and Amy's Epic Fall. :D (the funniest thing that happened the whole day :D) oh god I'm still laughing when I think about it hahahhaa.

My family in KTT. For these 3 months. I am considered the family baby btw. According to Sean who is like my mom. HAHA.

Mandi sungai. :D

Attempted, miserably, at playing volleyball. Attempted, even more miserably, to play some game that involves throwing and catching a tennis ball. People like Loon Han and Amy can throw so freaking far. When I throw, not even halfway to the other side man. WEAK. :P

FAMILY DAY IZ FUN! :D

xx, karen♥

p/s, today I turn 19. happy birthday to me LOLOL. :D

I GOT MY PLACEMENT TODAY.

I had no idea I was getting my placement today.

I WAS SO NERVOUS! Anyway. I got..... KLE University, Belgaum, India. ♥

my future university. :D

Its huge, like 100 plus acres, and its not only for medicine. Got Dentistry, Pharmacy, Ayurvedic Medicine, Nursing, etc etc.

I AM HAPPY. :)

Like omg, things are finally happening. Its finally dawned on me- i'm really going to India. And my batch to KLE is the first to fly, hence, I leave in July.

Best of all, I have friends going with me, both medic and dentistry students la. No one close to me, but its okay, I can make friends bahh. :D

In Belgaum, the weather is "pleasant all year round" as Wiki says. Also, there are four seasons, *gleeful*, where in winter, the temperature drops to nine degrees. Its near to Goa, which is a tourist spot, so thats nice. There are waterfalls and stuff. :P HAHA. The main language spoken there is Kannada, which is ABIT sad, cause I much prefer Hindi. But its okay la, I'm gonna focus on my Kannada from now on hehe. No more avoiding the awkward scribbles.

I google-imaged Belgaum.

I have mixed feelings. I feel sad to be leaving my friends and Sabah. :'( And so soon! Mid July.

Hmm. Nothing else to say for now. ;P

So I went out with the girls yesterday to 1U and I had a great time. :) 1U is HUGE HUGE HUGE and I couldn't even finish walking the whole place cause it was so huge. And I came across my favorite makeup shop, Etude House! :)

I love the makeup there, everything is extremely cute. And I found something I liked! I've been searching for a lip/cheek blusher/lipgloss thingie. And I decided to try this one out. ;)

Packaging is adorable. ♥ I got it for RM21. So cheap.

How it looks on my hand. Very pink!

And ta-daa! How I look with the stuff smeared on my lips and my cheeks. Long time already I didn't post a picture of my own face hahaha. I really love this product. ♥

I'm gonna be using this alot. :D

So many thoughts, so hard to put it all down in words.

I was talking with my housemates today and some things we talked about were extremely interesting. ;) P/S. We talked about guys. HAHAA. And I just realised,

I have been called a bitch just because I don't feel the same way about someone. And honestly to me, its fine. Call me whatever you like, all sorts of mean names, if it makes you feel better. It doesn't do anything to me, except maybe make me laugh at your bitterness.

I am honest with my feelings, if I don't like something/someone I will just say so. My honesty makes me happy. And if you don't like me because of it, then oh wells, NOT MY PROBLEM. :)

There has been a guy I regard as a friend, best friend even, betray me and spread rumors about me and lie to my face. (I still hate him now, and this happened last year lol)

The point of this post?

I just think, guys/people who hate me can hate me all they want. Its not in my power to change their opinions on me, and I believe I never have to explain myself to people who don't matter. I'm doing things that make me happy and being with people I care about. Random, nameless, faceless people who talk behind my back because they're scared to hate me to my face, don't matter to me.Life goes on anyway. :)

heyaaaaa. ;)

Haven't updated in forEVER. Internet here is ALWAYS being a biatch. :( Okay so, random updates?

I'm enjoying my classes, KINDA, except Physio and Kannada. Hate both. :P SO boring. :( I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE HINDI. ♥
Ehhh. I'm loving my housemates. All three are awesome people. ;)
Loving my classmates. I'm wondering why I never talk to them before this. (I mean there are some people in class I never talked to in my whole 1.5 years, and now I love ~~talking to them~~ disturbing them because they're so much fun. :)
I'm praying for Japan. You reading this, won't you pray for them too? The nuclear explosions scare me, and the images I see online, of the ruined buildings dead people depress me. Example?

Yeap I took this off Google images hahaha. One pic enough already. :P So sad laaaa. And to think I visited Japan only last September. :O

So, yeah. :)

"And who do you think you are?

Running round leaving scars

collecting your jar of hearts,

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

from the ice inside your soul

so don't come back for me

Don't come back at all."
