Catch ya around !


Yes, I am in Alor Setar right now. =)

I flew out of the Melbourne at 00:15am 18th of June and arrived in Kuala Lumpur about 9 hours later.

With free TV and movies, 9 hours flew by pretty fast.


9 hours layover to get to Malaysia. Boo to more waiting.



Get myself a supper feast and listened to music.


Charles, my classmate.



Yes, he is Australian; from Malaysia.=)



Finally, KLIA.




And finally,


Alor Setar !!!

I hadn't planned on making the trip home at the beginning of the year, but looking back, it was definitely a better decision than staying in the freezing cold Melbourne right now.

Catch ya around !

Love,
Steph

I really miss my puppy I left in Malaysia. For sure Snowy isn't so little anymore as she was in a day I left Malaysia and she has turned into a beautiful poodle.

I can't wait until my winter break starts ! = )

Peace out y ' all !

What Say You ?

I woke up thinking why I was born to be stubborn, to be a little bit bitchy, to push people to push myself?


Whether it's my taste in clothing, my needs in a relationship, or what I do for a living, I just define it myself.

 Even my Mom used to say this to me:" You pissed me off ! Why are you born to be such a stubborn girl ? Can't you just take people 's advice once in a while? "


I wonder why I just don't take anyone else's advice.


But i do believe that as long as you let someone else make decisions regarding your career, dreams, or aspirations, you've limited yourself drastically. You'll only be as good as that person allows you to become. Throughout life, people will try to shake your faith in yourself . When this happens, I remind myself that the only way they can succeed is if I allow it. So, when  I walk down the street of life, I hold my head high and keep walking.


Is that why I am stubborn as I don't ever let anyone shake my faith in myself ?


What say you ?

Love,
Steph

Breaks My Heart .


 Sometimes it make me realize that maybe we have tooooooo many things or we have never learned to live without something learning to appreciate something is kind of hard to do.

I cried when i watch the video. Sung-Bong Choi is a 22-year old kid who joined Korea's Got Talent. He was left at an orphanage at the age of 3, ran away at 5 after being beaten, and lived all by himself on the streets for ten years and sleeping in stairs or public toilets since then, doing odd jobs and selling gum and energy drinks.

Spending most of his life hustling to get where he is now. It breaks my heart.

"Always realize that here are others out there less fortunate than us. That the things we have are enough if we are happy healthy have enough to eat and we are not out in the streets."

Good Luck Sung-Bong Choi.

Love,
Steph

Hey Girls ! Pamper Yourself Too !





In this fast-paced society, how do you take ‘ time out ’ just for you ? What , if any, indulgencies do you enjoy? How do you pamper yourself?
Never underestimate how deeply the simple pleasures in life will impact your mood, your spirit, your well-being. Life is made up of moments. Your happiness is worth it because when you are happy then you are healthier, more confident, more energetic, have less stress bogging you down, and are a better person to others around you. This is a “win-win” for everyone!
“There is nothing more important than your well-being. The better you feel the more you can live the life you want to live. You cannot climb a summit if you are feeling depleted. You cannot conquer your inner-demons with a fragile and exhausted mind.”----- My mum =)
So,give yourself what you need in each moment. Do you need rest?  Plan for rest. Do you need inspiration? Read the books that feed your soul. Do you need relaxation? Get a massage. Do you need clarity? Spend time in silence. Do you need support? Reach out to friends and loved one.
Well, I try to pamper myself every chance I get. I am usually a stress ball and without all of these things I would probably have panic attacks more frequently than I already do ! Especially when I am in the exam period. Hell someone has to, right…. =)
There is many things I like when I think of pampering myself. Facials, massages, mani’s and pedi’s, gym, hot bath, spas, food and wine, new goodie, good book, sleep, macaroon, hair treatment……..I just love to be pampered.=)
So, these are what I usually do:
1)       I love love love hot bath and body products. Especially scented ones. Some scents can just set me in the best mood. ( I start to self indulge in buying candles….I guess I am just a “ scent ” person)  =)


2)      I eat well , healthy and that feels like pampering myself.

3)      Go to the gym. I need to have much exercise to raise my blood pressure and if I don’t I feel so cold.

4)      A day of shopping at the mall is another way I like to reward myself, whether it be buying shoes or new clothes or whether it can be a perfume or a new hair product. I haven’t been pampering myself very much here lately due to busy exam week. Although I did yesterday I bought a new dress. Hahahaaaa. That’s how I usually pamper myself, by going on a shopping spree.

5)      Find the coziest corner at the coffee shop, order a green tea latte, few macaroons or a piece of chocolate fudge cake, and read half a novel without interruption when I really want to be all alone.

The novel I love the most " EAT PRAY LOVE "
6)      I do ABSOLUTELY nothing somedays and love it ! Sit in my favourite chair and just chill with no noise or distractions ( ah sweet silence ) I put on music and make myself a cup of hot chocolate drink or Almond tea. Or hole up in my bedroom with a cozy throw to watch some reality tv show.
I did came up with my total pampering idea which I can do at any time here, costs practically nothing. Pampering yourself doesn’t have to be expensive for me especially I am in overseas. Haven’t had a facial, pedi’s and mani’s, spa, Jacuzzi and acupuncture in like four months as it is really costly here. Next up--- Jacuzzi, facial and acupuncture when I am having my winter break back in Malaysia in another 2 weeks time.   
7)      However, I try to do a weekly facial by applying the Renovating Whitening Masque and Bilberry Myrtille Gel Mask myself at home. Then, followed by the SKIN PHYSICS Photon Rejuvenation System – which known as LED Light Therapy , and then go to bed earlier. Sleep is also a big part of pampering. Hehe.

It is awesome.


I believe a girl should always look good. It helps you feel good about yourself and gives you confidence. Look good, feel good!  =)
 I have learned how to control myself, let go all my stress and relax…so when I need pampering- I NEED PAMPERING, no question about it : ) hehe
Hey Girlssss, find a way, any way, to pamper yourself TODAY! You deserve it, don’t you? =)

Love,
Steph

Melbourne ♥


The top ranking Australian city, yet again, is Melbourne, which makes second place on the list this year. ( behind Vancouver ). It has once again been ranked second in the London- based Economist Intelligence Unit's latest liveability survey.

Congratulations Melbieeeeeeee =)

I have been studying in Melbourne for alomost two years. Melbourne is almost perfect for me at least.
I would say that one of the thing that contributes to making Melbourne one of the world's most liveable cities is that there is a festival and events on nearly every weekend.

The amazing culture, the luxury living, the art filled laneways with awesome cafes, restaurants, bars, the art& entertainment, the people, the architecture, the awesome live music on the streets.

Oh yeah, and of course the shopping is good! It's Melbourne, the fashion capital of Australia. I am a complete shopaholic and the shopping is AMAZING.

It is very much about lifestyle.

p/s I REALLY LOVE SHOPPING =)

The only thing that I personally dislike about Melbourne:
THE DRY WEATHER!!!
but fine, just apply more moisturizer will do. =)

Love,
Steph
