Goodbye 2013 and I'll miss you

They say every picture tells a thousand words, and with that I'll allow my pictures to commemorate all significant events of the year 2013:

I'll always remember 2013 for....

Finally growing out my short hair

Getting rid of my skin problems

And therefore starting to ship acne.org to Malaysia

 

Doing my Senior Project (more fondly known as FYP)

Yeap not my best shot but hey, I look happy

Of course, my birthday

My first ever mission trip (no that's not orang asli just a boy who came with us)

My first blog sponsor Map accessories

Of course, graduating!

Taking up baking, which is what I've always wanted to do

 And that's it! Cheers, to all who made this possible <3 <3

Mr Lens & Me

 A Butterfly Project

and

 Blogging experience

I don't know about you guys, but I've always had trouble finding a legitimate (by that of course I mean cheap, good and with plenty of variety) optometrist to buy contact lens. I've always been the type to buy the cheapest and most convenient lens available so I just buy whatever contact lens that's not too dodgy - Acuvue, Air Optix, Freshcon, Freshlook, Soflens 38 (& 58 too I think, izit the same?) but I am aware that there are plenty that I've never tried, so here comes both Butterfly Project and Mr Lens into the picture.

As a blogging project, I was given the choice of choosing 2 contact lenses from Mr Lens. Giddy with excitement and enthusiasm, I immediately went to their website to choose mine.

My choice - TADAH! Colorvue Starburst in grey and Colorvue 3tones in green. I always buy my color lenses in grey and since I have two choices I selected green also for fun *claps hands in glee

it comes in a box with 2 capsules for your lens (this one is hazel for sistah <3)

If you're as impatient a girl as me (as I think all girls are for new stuff) then you'll be glad to know that Mr Lens offers free delivery to the Klang Valley and KL area, plus they have their own delivery team who are in charge of delivering ONLY Mr Lens products. I got mine 3 days later, if I'm not mistaken ;) Now that's what I call good service!

It comes like this:

two boxes of contact lenses, your receipts, and the customary brochures
about their services

Close up of my eye after I wore it:

looks a little blur cuz I zoomed and cropped it, but you get the gist -
this is Colorvue in Starburst Grey

I reckon that it'll look better with makeup and the whole she-bang, but a little word of advice: this contact lens is supposed to be worn for 3 months, but if you're like me who wears these lens almost all day every day of the week, tune down the expiry to one month please, or else you'll hurt your eyes. Color lenses are always more harmful to our eyes.

What Mr Lens offers: Up to 50% discount on your regular contact lenses, and speedy delivery times.
For the same products and half the price, why not take a chance on Mr Lens?

Cheers!

Right here, right now

Ta-dah! Proof that I wasn't, as Sheldon would say, "Just funnin' ya". Gained admissions into the obnoxious group of being a graduate, and an unemployed one at that. Jobs, anyone?

So because some of us didn't walk at the convocation it didn't really feel like a reaaaalll graduation without of course, a celebration! Decided right at the last minute that we would go to Oasis Square@ Ara Damansara, since it seems to be "happening" lately. 

But sadly we went to Rakuzen, where the food seems just like an extension of Sushi Zanmai with the addition of better services I guess. Same food, same taste, less quantity, more expensive. Only way to salvage it is through the lovely company of all my loves. 

The girls

And the boys

After dinner it was like 10pm already so we moved on to The Roof at First Avenue, it's like a new place for hanging out and drinking plus one of the guys said that since it's high up in the sky it signifies us going up and to places (extremely Chinese thinking mentality alert!) so all of us went. 

view's great, too bad not too many tables are outside
plus I personally think the balcony feels unsafe

Last pic of the night before we (ahem, mainly I) got plastered

Word of warning, alcohol sucks, guys. Don't drink. stick to Coke (the SODAAAA!) and juice.

Cheers!

Too fast too furious

I'm graduating tomorrow. Me. As in moi. ich. wo. saya. 
AS IN this time tomorrow, my status changes from "student" into "fresh grad". officially.

went to take my graduation portrait with my darling Phui Loo

When did this happen? It's as if age snuck up upon me when I was sleeping (and trust me, since I sleep alot, it did have alot of chances to sabo me: "She's STILL sleeping?! Lets make time go super fast, just for fun!") Now I know how Rip van Winkle felt when he woke up and just like that *snap of fingers* 100 years had passed.

I still feel not a day over 18! Yesterday when I went to the Big Bad Wolf bookfair none of the bank marketing officers looked at me and my sister. Barely glanced at us, and I remember feeling so proud, as if I had won a secret personal contest "HAH! I don't look like I'm over 21!" but anyways, I digress.

Tomorrow, when I walk across the stage. Tomorrow, when I'll receive a scroll of blank paper from the Dean (the official certs come later). Tomorrow, when (I hope) my mum and dad will dispense tears of happiness. Tomorrow, I'll be seeing all of you.

I'll finish with this light and enjoyable poem by Jenny Joseph, called "When I am Old". Ok lah I'm being a little dramatic--entering society is different from leaving society but there's plenty of similarities between the two, plus I'm leaving my own society of students what! <3

When I Am Old.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,

And I shall spend my pension

on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals,

and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,

And run my stick along the public railings,

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,

Or only bread and pickle for a week,

And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats

and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,

And pay our rent and not swear in the street,

And set a good example for the children.

We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me

are not too shocked and surprised,

When suddenly I am old 

and start to wear purple!

Cheers!
