Long Distance Relationship (LDR)

Long distance relationship or simply known as LDR, I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a long time. *Note that I am NO expert to talk about this since my LDR is not that far. Maybe Sabah to Perak to Johor. Not that far huh.

Since I am having withdrawal symptom from Reply 1994 – yeah, I watched the last episode yesterday and cried my heart out – I decided to talk about this cause I have nothing to watch now.  

In the drama, Najung and Trash’s relationship come to an end when they are in LDR. I especially like this particular scene with Najung’s narration about how they broken up.  

We were a very special couple. But in front of time, in front of life, that specialness was becoming very average. Like anyone, we were becoming negligent and like everyone, we became buried. Eventually we became accustomed to that negligence. Like that, we became a very un-special couple. And like that, without breaking up, we had broken up.

I love this scene because it somehow mirrored my relationship, minus the broken up part. (Cause Mr. BF and I are still together to this very moment). When a couple been together for a long time, there are some “things” they've accustomed with and that lead to negligence. And if that “things” are left unattended, it thus lead to separation.

But the good thing is, when a couple been around each other’s life for a long time, they become comfortable with each other and thus want to keep each other by their side because they know what their partner wants. (And it is also because we are lazy searching for other partner because then you have to begin the “process of knowing” from A to Z over and over again). Like my friend said, couple terlampau lama, break pun rasa lain, mau cari orang lain lagi. Biar sajala. I second this million times.

I’ve been in a LDR for about 3 years now. Ok, plus minus the holiday maybe 2 years. The only good things about LDR so far are:

1. We are very happy to see each other after a long time.
2. We treasure the time when we are together.
3. It’s like we are new couple when we meet after a long time. You know shy shy.
4. I love his presence more than anything.
5. And other bunch of stuff. Haha.

Like I said, I am no expert in this LDR thingy, so maybe my experience differ from other LDR couples. Some said LDR is no good, but I think it depends on you, if you love your relationship so much and want it to last longer, you will always find ways to make it works. My LDR works because I am cool, jealousy aside and trust my partner.

And of course we fight sometimes, but we coolly shrug it off like it’s nothing. We are cool like that. Em on a second thought, maybe not, maybe I am cool like that (cause I don’t want to prolong our fight so I just say sorry first, everything will be fine, but I still win. why? cause women will always win no matter what) This may serve as good techniques to have long lasting relationship don’t you think?     

Team Chilbong until the end. It's been a great few months with you Reply 1994. 

Hey, New Year's coming

~taya~xoxo

Of Christmas and celebration. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Let me begin my post with, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It’s that time of the year again.

This year’s Christmas was a quiet one. I stayed at home all the time. As usual we went to church. Secure ourselves a good place to sit this time, we finally can lean, hoho, but we still sit at the same place as last year, church’s upstairs' chairs. We can’t beat those who came very early although I must say we really do came early to church this year. Still end up sitting upstairs though. Sigh. And as usual, I got Christmas allowance from my dad. I am my daddy’s little girl.

There’s not much of a Christmas commercial this year on TV. I wonder if it’s because of that “issues”. I am honestly disappointed, so much for shouting “1 Malaysia” when reality is….. Ok, I’m going to stop here. Luckily I am a Sabahan and Sabah multicultural is the best when it comes to celebration. We are tolerant with other religion, no racism, or religionism (if this word even exist). Hope this will never change in Sabah.

This year’s Christmas also blessed with nonstop rain. (why no snow??) It rained on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Last year’s was good though. It stopped raining on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Well, it’s still a God’s grace. I hope it will stop raining on New Year. I need to see those fireworks play in peace.

Now, I only have to wait for New Year and will go back to Ipoh in no time. I’d said this last year, and will say it again and again every year. I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IPOH.

Merry Christmas from us, Daddy's little girls.

(On a side note, I change my blog’s background. It’s a Christmas tree with purple sky, because I love purple damn much)

Merry blessed Christmas

From Fadalya and Family. xoxo

KDrama Rant: Pretty Man @ Bel Ami

My first impression? OH GOSH! CRINGY! I want to drop this drama from the early episode. Everytime I watch this drama my hand will clench into a fist and it won't unfold. I feel like scratching my skin until it's bleeding because the cringe-worthy scenes in this drama is so damn high!

I hated Jang Geun Suk in the early episode because he is the reason I clench my hand. I fast forward his scene cause I can't bear to watch it and I'm afraid I might actually make my skin bleeds. The only thing that keep me watching is Lee Jang Woo, our unfortunate second male lead. He is so cute in this drama. His crush towards IU is so cute!

I'm glad I didn't drop this drama though cause the story is getting interesting. We are now on the fourth woman, the 8^th episode, and I'm curious what will happen next. And JGS's hair is getting better. I hated him with longer hair cause it makes him look gay. Not gay happy, gay gay. I used to adore him, not anymore. well, maybe a little.

Because they are so cute together, 

I feel bad for David Choi (Jang Woo's character's name)

 coz second male lead NEVER GETS THE GIRL. 

Yes, I'm talking about Young Do and Chil Bong.

One of my fav scene where he says she's cute. 

I can feel the love.

See the hairstyle? It's gradually becoming better, cooler, and handsome.

Rant on life: Study early VS Study last minute

Study early will help you get a good result no doubt, but study last minute doesn't necessarily do you bad.  

Right?

So I got my exam result last week and I am pretty satisfied with it. Well, very satisfied actually because I never would have guess I’ll get that pointer. Because you see, I am a last-minute-study kind of student. I never study early, even though I really did want to change this habit of studying last minute but it is just words and forgotten soon. The advantage of studying last minute is, well not much, but for me, it helps me to remember information better. Adrenalin rush and stuff help me to memorise fact better. True story bro.

While studying early is better, like few in our class, who study very early and get good result. Always on the top. But there are also few others who study early but --not to sound cocky-- get the same result as mine. I guess the assignments help a lot then.

The question is now, should I keep this habit of studying last minute or change it? I guess the answer is KEEP IT.  I’ll never change anyway.

P/s: Santi, come la we study again together next sem. Our result got better kan. Thumbs up for last minute study! 加油! 

lots of rant

The Hand-me-down stuff

When I was a little girl, I used to think that any clothes will shrink to a smaller size. But even when I was a little child, I had my doubt and question like, “how the hell the clothes shrink? Ah, it must be because of the getah in the clothes.” You know, getah can stretch, become smaller and bigger. Stuff like that. Okay, I'm having trouble explaining this. Just think of it as latex. Eventually I learnt that the clothes did not shrink but it is us who grow up and become bigger.

Growing up as a second child, I don’t have many hand me down clothes because I don’t have sister. I have older brother. Now, my parents wouldn't want me to wear boy clothes do they? I grow up as a fashion criminal, meaning I don’t have sense of fashion. I don’t have anyone to teach and show me the proper fashion that I should follow. So I just wear anything that I think is good for me. It was embarrassing. I was very tacky. Gosh those years of embarrassment.

The first proper hand me down I got was from my high school teacher. It was my baju kuliah. 5 pairs of baju kurung total. Well, it is technically baju kurung but there is other appropriate name for it. Is it baju kurung kedah? I never bother to know the differences. I'm ignorant remember.

She gave me and my friend Ichel those baju kurung because she doesn’t wear it anymore. (Cause she have tons of baju kurung). I was very happy because I don’t have to buy baju kurung anymore. I was very lucky to have the same size as my teacher. I’ve been wearing the same baju kurung for 2 years. Yeah, talk about saving money. Hoho.

Recently, she gave me another batch of baju kurung. Yes, money saved! I don’t care if it’s a hand me down. It looks new to me. And I don’t care wearing hand me down. Nowadays with the cost of living keep increasing, naik sana, naik sini, gaji tidak naik pun, I accept anything people want to give me as long as it is free. Yes, saving money is my priority now.

Lots of love

Quotes of the day 14

If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear. The deeper love grows, and the more you don’t want to lose it, the more your fear grows. Love feeds on fear. But what overcomes that love-fueled fear is love itself.

Ada Kawan Sudah!

So, my lil' bro got this surat tawaran from SPA since last July. And "we" (my lil bro and I but mostly me) was waiting for his penempatan coz SPA didn't state the penempatan in the surat tawaran. It was I who felt more nervous waiting for his penempatan coz you know, in my place, I mean in perak, KSKB is so near, jalan kaki pun boleh. Ok, jalan kaki is a no no. Penat gila jalan kaki. So, if my lil bro got there then syukur la.

So, in the surat tawaran, "Sila hubungi Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Sabah di talian bla bla bla mulai 29 November 2013 bagi mengetahui maklumat tentang taklimat". It was freaking 29 November when we called them and they said and I quote "(bla bla something they said) kau cuba lagi kol nanti 6 haribulan". Ok, so we wait. And we called them at 6 Dec, and their answer was "nanti kami kol balik". The F? We were tired with this game and decided, when it is the time, it will come out eventually.
 
9 December, I was still patiently waiting for the result. See, it was my bro's problem tapi yang sibuk sibuk kakak dia. hoho. So, apa lagi, I checked this website yang memang for the SPA-ians to check their penempatan, there's one new announcement., "Semakan penempatan boleh dibuat mulai 10 Disember, jam 5 petang". Oh ok, so it was finally there huh.

10 December, 5 pm. I waited 18 minutes to check if the result was out or not. Guess what. Not out yet. I knew it. Kalau dari 29 November lagi sudah diorang suruh tunggu, apa la sangat kalau lambat sikit lagi kan. *insert sarcasm tone* At 6 something almost 7 pm, The RESULT was finally out. The long awaited freaking result was finally out. I should be given standing ovation for waiting this long. Macam tunggu elaun saja. Samala, lambat keluar. Pengurusan hampeh. Bluek.

Macam God listen to my prayer, or coincidence? Maybe the former.
Thank you God! My lil bro got KSKB Ulu Kinta! Ada kawan sudah! So boleh jalan sama-sama. Boleh jadi "boyfriend" sementara. Boleh minta duit. (ok tidak malu, kakak minta duit when I supposed to give him money coz you know his allowance will be in very late coz he's a freshman so I will be giving him money and the fact that his allowance is bigger then mine, He supposed to give me money. Compensation money).

My dad juga sengsara if like this. His 3 kids dapat di semenanjung. Means more money. Its ok dad. Our allowance can cover the expenses. But I'm very happy coz I can take care of my lil bro sebab kami dekat. It means his money saya yang jaga. hohoho. *evil laugh*

Finally, Congratulation to those SPA-ians out there. Your future is now brightly shining in front of you. You just have to follow it kay.

If only I got the tawaran for Medical Assistant earlier before I enter IPG, mesti now I praktikal oready and next year dapat gaji sendiri oready. SPA! why u lambat give me tawaran?? Frust ni. Frust. 

lots of love
~taya~merry Christmas hohoho

Random: How cold is my place?

How cold is morning in my place? Pictures below was taken at 0620 in the morning. That's how cold it was. I guess the temperature was 21 - 22 Celsius. Not sure though. 

As you can see, I live in a house surrounded by paddy field. Our own paddy field. Note the fence in the pictures, yes outside the fence is not ours. Sometimes the mist is so thick I can't even see what happens 50 meters ahead. 

But you can always pretend you live in a fairy land. I always do that when I was in high school. I go to school at 0640 every morning and sometimes the mist is still there and I can see my house disappearing as I walk further. Fairy land indeed. Memories! 

Nowadays it is so hard to wake up in the morning. Blame holidays.

Back side of my house

Front side of my house

Zoomed in front side

Zoomed in back side. The zombies are ready to attack us.

(If this how my place looks like in the morning, I wonder how it will look like in Cyril's place?)

KDrama review: Puberty Medley (2013)

Holla there December! Month of Christmas! Merry merry merry….

My first post for December is about, well, non-other than Korean drama. I've been indulging myself into many Korean dramas these days. Something that can only be done during long holiday. My broadband has been a great help really although the quota exceeded its limit already. The bad side is it only works supersonic fast at 2 am until 8 am SHARP. Guess what time I sleep every day. Giggle.

So I came across this drama “Puberty Medley” or “Adolescence Medley” when I was busy searching for good movies in YouTube to be downloaded. It is a KBS special drama and only slated for 4 episodes. So everything is crammed into 4 amazing episodes. I was hesitate to download it initially but my heart said, why not give it a try and I’m glad I did.

This drama is basically about first love and is set in high school in the year 2003 and also the present year 2013. The story starts with our male lead teaching in a class and suddenly we hear bell ringing and an angry voice of a woman. He was actually sleeping and dreaming and the sound of an angry voice woke him up. Then we can see that our male lead is actually a teacher teaching in a prep school. The story then goes back into the past and the characters’ development are exhibited.

What’s in this drama?

1. It’s set in high school and is suitable for teenager. Since I’m basically a teenager still, so it perfectly suitable for me.
2. It tells a simple first love story that's sweet and funny.  First love is always special.
3. Teaches you to live your life bravely. Embrace the challenges in life. Be good to people.
4.  Don’t judge a person by its “cover”. He/she may be a good person.
5.  Don’t be a bully. No one likes bully.
6.  Enjoy your high school life. It happens only once.
7.  The songs in this drama are awesome. Dae to the bak!

Episode 1- synopsis

After transferring schools seven times, Choi Jeongu learns it is easiest not to make friends nor enemies. He sticks to that practice when he transfers into Namil High School, but not for long. The guy sitting next to him, Deokwon, is overly friendly and keeps trying to become friends with him. The class president and the top student of the school, Yang Ayeong, keeps bothering him to do chores for the class. Jeongu succeeds in remaining invisible until one fateful day, when he stands up for Deokwon against a bully, who is constantly picking on him. He mistakenly hits the Brown Bear, Yeokho, and is challenged to a duel. If Jeongu wins, Deokwon will be left alone. When Ayeong tells him to apologize to Yeokho, Jeongu gets angry and blurts out, "Go out with me." A day full of regrets, but Jeongu is not concerned, since he is transferring out in a week anyway.

Episode 2- synopsis

Since Jeongwu is no longer transferring out, all of his schemes went out the window. "What do I do about National Singing Contest?" " What about Brown Bear, who is out to get me?" "And... what do I do with my public girlfriend Yang Ayeong?" Jeongwu is faced with the greatest crisis of his life. Yeongbok and Wonil are itching to beat up Jeongwu, but Yeokho, who is supposed to fight him, simply smiles knowingly. Jeongwu comes to grip with the fact that he cannot escape the danger before him, and joins a boxing gym. However, he sees Yeokho there and runs away and ends up running into Ayeong at the bus stop. After a long, silent trip home, she asks him a question he cannot avoid...

Episode 3- synopsis

Deokwon says a lot has changed since Jeongwu transferred in, and calls Jeongwu Namil High's hero. It's a bit embarrassing, but Jeongwu doesn't mind. But when a true hero is needed, the one who steps up is Deokwon, not Jeongwu. Jeongwu is reminded of how cowardly he really is, and becomes disappointed in himself. Meanwhile, Jeongwu hears from Wonil that something is going on between Yeokho and Ayeong. When he asked, Ayeong says coldly, "Why is that so important to you?"

Episode 4- synopsis

Jeongu faces off against Yeokho, man to man. Thanks to that, he feels closer to Ayeong. Now all that's left is to sing a cheerful song for her on National Singing Contest. He's walking on air, happy that he's shaking off his cowardly self and maturing a little. Ayeong takes him by the hand and teaches him how to ride a bike. The bike has "YW85" written on it. Ayeong says she wants Jeongu to have it, but he refuses to accept something so precious to her. But she keeps insisting. Jeongu suspects something and turns his back to her, and she musters up the courage to tell him... 

Btw, the male lead,Kwak Dong Yeon is 97-er. But he had done a very good job in portraying Choi Jeongu. He can sing too! Such a young adorable talented lad.
