one and the same!

True friendship isn't being inseperable, its being seperated and nothing changes.

Just in case you don't know, well, I've got a best friend (everybody does have one, don't they?) and her name is Flo. We've been friends for... well God knows how long cos if you asked me to count it, I barely remember when do we exactly first met. Oh well, I do remember a lil bit like we met at our ballet classes and I think we're only 12 or 13, if I'm not mistaken. The one thing that I forgot was how, seriously I didn't remember how we became friends in the first place. All I remember was all out of the blue, we've already became a friend. End of story.

Grade 9th

Well, there's a lot of thing happened in our friendship. We've been through good times and bad times. We had had our fought,twice, but that's because of my stubborness but things remains the same. We're still friends :) I still remember the first time we took our photo with my T630 camera. It's so silly. She used to hate camera, but now? Oh. Don't ask. I also remembered how we used to textin each other till late at night, discussing things like our future, plans to stay together in Germany, talking about boys - imaginary boys, even what's on TV at that time. Super fun.

We used to meet like twice/thrice a week in our ballet classes, but that isn't the case now. I barely meet her because she quit ballet when we're about to enter high school (we went to different school since the beginning of our friendship) But some thing never changed, like us. We're still BESTFRIENDS. We're connected through texting and MSN.

Sometimes, I used to think of how we managed to keep our friendship alive. I meant, come on~ we met only ONCE a year! Can you imagine?



The photos above was taken at our last school holiday, June. Celebrating our anniversaries, LOL. okay, not anniversaries. It just an addition of our birthday 12th May + 6th Jan = 18th June. We're seriously in a crazy mode back then.

And couple of days ago, she gave me this music video; "One & The Same" by Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato, who we knew as one of hollywood BFF and in my opinion, the lyrics really do represent us!



We're one and the same
We're anything but ordinary
One and the same
I think we're almost lengendary
You and me the perfect team
Chasing down the dream
You and me the perfect team
Shaking up the scene
We're one and the same

Birthday Greetings to my teacher :)


Ms. Lita, Happy Belated Birthday!

Too bad I couldn't join because of my super f*ckin test! ah.. I regret my decision, I should've gone to my ballet class instead of sulking studying at home. GEEZ!
We had it planned for a week and in the end, I'm the one who couldn't join the fun.
I hate it when I missed the fun things!

500 Days of Summer


awww... this is super sickly sweet!

Well, I don't really know what's gotten into me lately. I'm such in a melancholic state that I was so into the old time romantic-comedy/romantic movie these days. I tried to watch Meg Ryan's (because Meg was one heck of a 'romantic' genre actress, she plays the role definitely well. I got her feeling on that one) lot of time like Sleepless in Seattle & You've Got Mail. That's my favourite. Aye, not to mention Julia Roberts! She's also amazing with Runaway Bride, Pretty Girl and bla-bla-bla. I always cried when I watch romantic movies. I know, I know, kinda pathetic but I can't denied it. I'm a hopeless romantic. Even I cried when I watch HERCULES! Yes, DISNEY'S CARTOON HERCULES! I cried. Can't you imagine? So, if anyone anybody have a damn good recommendation of good romantic movie, whether it is brand new or old time one, just QUIPPED me. Okay guys?

Anyway, talking about romantic, I'm so obsessed with 500 Days of Summer since the first time I saw the poster on tumblr and the trailer on youtube. It was MARVELOUS! It was the kinda thing I want to happened in my life. The story line is pretty much simple, it's about a boy - a hopeless romantic - who fall in love with a girl, who pretty much didn't believe in what they so called as true love.





  • Tom: “We don’t have to label what we’re doing. I just… I need some consistency. I need to know you won’t wake up tomorrow and feel a different way.”
  • Summer: “I can’t promise you that. Nobody can. Anyone who does is a liar.”
  • Tom: Did you ever even have a boyfriend?
  • Summer: Of course
  • Tom: What Happened? Why didn't they work out?
  • Summer: What always happens? Life
  • Summer: We've been like Sid and Nancy for months now.
  • Tom: Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy, seven times with a kitchen knife, I mean we have some disagreements but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious.
  • Summer: No I'm Sid
  • Tom: Oh, so I'm Nancy...
  • [Pancakes arrive]
  • Summer: Let's just eat and we'll talk about it later. Mmm, that is good, I'm really glad we did this. I love these pancakes... what?
  • [Tom gets up and walks away from the table]
  • Summer: Tom, don't go! You're still my best friend!
  • Rachel: Better that you find this out now before you come home and find her in bed with Lars from Norway.
  • Tom: Who's Lars from Norway?
  • Rachel: He's some guy she met at the gym with Brad Pitt's face and Jesus' abs.

My Clothesbox

Okay, it'll be another lack of update from me but well okay, my reason would be that I'm currently making a new blog - a fashion blog to be exact. The one that I had in mind since a long time ago but couldn't establish it until YESTERDAY. Yes, yesterday, I was so thrilled that I finally made it.

The main problem for me would be that I don't have the inspiration for the name of the blog, that's what make the making of my new fashion blog was delayed. But not anymore lads, I finally got the name and the blog.

YEAY!

So now ladies, gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to
