Good riddance

I remembered the same feeling I had at the end of 2008. 2008 sucked. But 2009 rocked my world, best year ever. Was so looking for the same for 2010, but, it let me down, as in, let me drop so low, I can't even recognize where I got to. It all picked up slowly, but till today, I still dread the last few hours of 2010.

Tomorrow is New Years Eve and I will be soooooooo happily welcoming the new year! Even if it is staying home watching movies, I'm still gonna be smiling wideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 

So, once again, I've had enough of you, year 2010! It's you, it's not me. Bring on year 2011, baby! (Sharon Tang 2010)

Jangkar waterfall

Jangkar waterfall, is the first waterfall that I actually went to to have a picnic and swim at. And I must say, what an experience it was! So smart of me to pick the largest waterfall in Southern Sarawak (according to The Star 2010) lol. Came back with cuts and bruises and muscle pains all over.

The road to the place was a freakishly long and rocky one! About 2 hours plus from Kuching city? And you really need good directions.


The hike was torturing. It was raining, the terrain was tough, there were lots of parts where we needed a hand, and once, a back to step on, to get through. We stepped into water, mud and rocks of all colors BAREFOOT! But all that was so worth it, when you get to see such beauty. Takes your breath away :)

There were two paths up the mountain. One was the watery path, and one was the jungle track. We picked the watery path to climb. And boy, was that not only torturing, but pretty dangerous too. Most of our injuries were from the slippery rocks and the current of the rapid flowing waters. 

The guys had to hold hands to form a snake to support each one of us at some steep climbs. Damn hard. Managed to take pics at some of the hard parts

I never knew I could ever climb a rock like this!

After like, a really really long hike, we finally got there...

It was.. WOW

The guy just jumped in :O

Spot the man!

Our crazy friend Jon had to try that too lol. Have a hilarious video of his jump that I'll update soon.

Breathtaking

The water was FREEZING cold. This was the first waterfall.

We decided to go all the way up to where the water starts flowing down.. Hence, we reached, the second waterfall! It was scary.

*gulp*

There was another shallower pool at the 2nd level. It was really beautiful. Like, heaven on earth lol.

"Baby pool" Which we girls love hehe. But down there is so :S

The guys were the first to go in deeper to find the 2nd level waterfall.

True natural mineral water. Had a few sips. Fawesome!

Blurry is what you get the first time you look down hahaha. Friend wanted to take this pic and post it up saying, "30 minutes before I GG" wtf

You can spot a few of our friends who are still down at the 1st waterfall on the lower right. *legs soften*

See how strong the current was T_T so hard to get through the water, twisted my ankle slightly when I slipped at the rocks with the water rushing at my feet. Climbing rocks is the better way of getting up than walking through the water.

And there we are, the 2nd waterfall. Which was even more beautiful, only shorter. heart heart! The tour guide showed us that we are able to go behind the waterfall, there's a small cave at the back. But the current was too strong so only Jon made it behind. I didn't even dare to try. Haha.. doubt my swimming skills.

The trip was amazing. There are altogether 7 waterfalls but we were to tired and only made it to 2. However, the adventure didn't stop there. 

On the way back, our dear friend, whose Danger is his middle name, had to do a stunt lol. Which got us into this mess:

LMAO.

When we finally got out of it, we only had 2 bars of fuel left, almost 2 hours of road to cover, and empty stomachs since 9am. HAHA. Got to Lundu to pump fuel, got an ice cream, and drove on a pitch black road for 80+ kilometers to Kuching.

Very eventful indeed.  I wouldn't mind to go on another trip like this, but maybe not the same waterfall anymore haha. It was amazing but torturing at the same time. But as always, thinking back, it's always another awesome experience.

Oh yeah, must credit my iPhone 4 for taking all the pictures above. Not bad for a 5 mega pixel camera phone. Had it in a waterproof casing which i was so lucky I brought! If not, my phone would never have survived the trip! So won't these awesome pictures. If you're interested in the iPhone waterproof casing, you may leave a comment as I have supplies, haha. Available for Blackberries and other digital cameras too. Wow, advertisement opportunity haha.

Anyway, till next time. Chaos

Back! & 5 Favorite iPhone apps

Hello all, it's the last month of 2010 and I am happy. Didn't take many pictures this month, because it just started ha ha.. hmm.. ahh..

There, my sort of happy face:

Which, I know, I know, doesn't even look like me.. It's the makeup and the pretty bad front camera of the iPhone 4. Less mega pixels = blur pic = good for flaw-full face. ha ha ha 

Anyway, yay, finally got my iPhone 4 and a pink devil casing which I have been searching high and low for. 

Sad that it's a sweet light pink tho. Would love it to be a strong hot pink. Devil cause I'm naughty. Pink cos I'm sweet, sortof. :p

Once again, I jailbreaked and "zh'ng"ed the display like no tomorrow. I used three themes you can find on Cydia. First is the Hello Kitty Theme (from BigBoss), 2nd is the Pretty Pink Theme (from ModMyi), and 3rd is Metal iPhone Pink iOS4 (from BigBoss). Then, wuarah:

 ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥ 

Okay, so besides all the pink  ♥ There are a few apps I have absolutely been loving! Not in order:


Fav 1: MoreBeaute

This is a photoshop/ photography app.

Reason for liking: On days without makeup, or when you just have super thick eyebags or extremely blemished skin, or places with lighting that brings out the worse and darkest colors on your face, you can still take beautiful pictures where your skin would look bright and flawless. It's main tools is the Blur tool and the Brightness tool. So, just adjust these two, and your face in the pictures will look so perfect! ♥ 

Fav 2: StarDunk

This is a game!

Reasons for liking: It is addictive! At first I thought it's just another basketball game, Eww (because I don't know a thing about playing sports without having to move your legs eg. sports video games >_<.). But it turned out to be so not! The game is simple, just toss the ball into a hoop and score as much points as possible. Awesome thing is you can play online and challenge with a bunch of people all around the world at once :D

Fav 3: Cut the Rope

Another game

Reasons for Liking: This is like the cutest little game  ♥  ♥  ♥ !!!!! The little froggy named Omnom I think, IS SO CUTE. Enjoyed feeding it with the little candy while getting all three stars in every round. So fun till I finished all of them before finals. Now there's a Christmas special of Cut the Rope for free.. Go get! 

Fav 4: WhatsApp

A messaging app!

Reasons for liking: I use this everyday! It's free (if you have internet/3g/wifi on ur phone), it's fast, its pretty, simple, and loads of friends have it! :D My WhatsApp contact list is expanding everyday, even my dad is on too lol. 

Fav 5: P Tracker

I don't really remember it's proper name in App Store but, if you type Period Tracker, I think you can find it. Yeap, its a health app, to track your period! lol

Reasons for Liking: Very useful especially for girls! By entering the time your period starts and stops each month, you can track the pattern of your menstrual cycle, and be reminded of your fertile periods and when the blood will start flowing out. So nice of such type of applications to exist, makes life easier for forgetful people like me :)))

That's five of my favorite apps that I've been using a lot recently, apart from Facebook, YouTube and Echofon (A Twitter App). Oh yeah, there's also that blogging app BlogPress that I used the other time. But I still prefer to just enter through Safari. Because I don't think I can check comments and newsfeed through BlogPress.

That's all for now, till next time! Tata~

针刚刺在心上血流已如注
背叛了幸福拿爱当赌注

Colour me

So nice to be able to blog through an app from my iPhone now.. May we see more posts in the future!

BlogPress's pretty cool.. Got a few more of my favorite apps I can't wait to share with u guys.. But for now, Imma wear my battle goggles (glasses) and fight for finals :D

Lucks to everyone!

Don't need no caption no? :)

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

One of the most relieving thing to do that doesn't directly harm my health is a late night's drive on long empty roads with the windows down and good company :D

I liveee(d)

Hello all :D A picture to bring the Art of Daphy back to life! My 2010 Prom nails!

So sorry for my absence. It was quite a long emo, confusing, self discovery, pre-quarter life crisis (maybe), bla bla bla phase. The things I went through, or might still be going through, is so much like what one of my favorite bloggers, sweatlee.com is in. I feel like I understand everything she writes, all her feelings and thoughts that she expressed. The situation's different but the feeling feels somewhat similar. And the comments on those emo posts show that alottt of people go through this. All I know is, right can seem wrong and wrong can seem right, that you'd suddenly not know what is right and what is wrong anymore. One can get sooo lost and down, we'd wanna rip our heart out, stab it a few times over, and try to staple it back T_T. The guilt, the misery, the confusion, the wants, the needs, the could haves, the should have beens, could really bring one to the edge of the cliff on tip toes, wait there, and decide whether or not to lean forward. T_T 

But life does go on, and the wind will push us back on our feet. And we know we have to grow up and get over ourselves, and be better than that. Hence, I'm smiling again and hopefully, everyone else that are and might go through all this be strong. Life in 2010 has been really harsh, for most people I know. But, we'll walk this road together, through the storm, whatever weather, cold or warm, Just let you know that, you're not alone, holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (Eminem 2010). >_<.

So, since I'm back, hopefully there'll be more art, happier art, and pictures. Getting my new phone in a week HOPEFULLY. So desperately need a camera. I realized I blog so much less without one! 

Wow, since I've typed so much already, I'll just leave all other things till next time lah, lol. Good night.

Love the way you lie part 2

by Rihanna & Eminem

On the first page of our story, the future seems so bright.
And this thing turned out so evil, I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes and you take death to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.

Now this gravel in our voices, glass is shattered from the fight.
In this tug of war, you’ll always win, even when I’m right.
Cause you feed me fables from your hand,
With violent words and empty threats and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.

So maybe I’m a masochist
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave.
Til the walls are goin’ up in smoke with all our memories.

[Eminem]
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry that you
pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,
you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
with you I’m in my f–kin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.

I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like, right now, it's worse than a steel knife in my windpipe. I'm huffing paint but still ain't feeling any where as fly as a G6. I'm drowning everyday in the only river I wish would dry, which actually came out of my eyes. 

F***ing emo shit. 

This is why I haven't been blogging. Sorry. Just a phase (I hope). kthxbai.

I swear my blog is not dead :)

Holi days

Finally! a week of holidays from the hectic life of a final year student :D

More time to do things that I had delayed for 7 weeks  now. Blogging is definitely one of them! But, one feels as if one has lost touch because you know, it's like, you haven't met your best friend for a long time because he/she's overseas studying, and when he/she comes back, it'll be awkward for a little while, because you totally don't know where to start! but of course that phase is just for a little while and all will be good and familiar and everything nice again.

 

So, till then, see you next time :D 

(>_<. Okay, it's also PART OF an excuse to start watching PPS, so many dramas I left behind! Hope Gossip Girl, Vamp Diaries and Glee updates soon. And oh, just started watching the Sex and the City series. It's really old, but I'm finding it interesting! New York is like the future. I think we'll all go and wonder into the Sex and the City stage one day. =S okay till next time bye ^^)

So sad to see part of one's life frozen like this. :(

But I'll be back. Just wait. :D

Just followed this very artistic blog called Ballerina project, can be found on the side bar. Stumbled on it through a friend's Facebook link. It's beautiful. The pictures are so amazing. Check it out :D

Take care.

itsbeena WHILE

It's been a while!

But I'm still alive and kicking! Fighting all of life's challenges with my awesome martial Art of Daphy! MUAHAHHA *hopeful music in the background*

>_<.

Anyway, took a couple of pictures of the past weeks on various outings and events BUT, don't feel like uploading them because the all picture's quality's awful T_T. Pains of not owning a tiny digital camera anymore. There are other good pics though, that are a bit long overdue, causing one to not have the mood to blog about them anymore T_T

As for my artsy side, stopped drawing/ painting/ pianoing since classes started. It's the 6th week already and I've been feeling busy from the very first day.

Nail art however, is still a weekly thing thank god. :D

And I recently stumbled upon this awesome French nail art site! http://nail-art.over-blog.fr/

I LOVE the designs they have! You can find the tutorials on YouTube too! Check out their Gallery. I'm so in love with the designs. Gonna attempt them or get inspirations from them soon. Muahahaha..

That's all for now. Till the next time! Byes

Oh I am so busy

SO so busy! Well, not really, but, seriously! :S

I'm like the sophisticated woman in bubz video of the 2nd type of girls:

Kidding.

I'm just really frustrated because I had to DRAG myself outta bed "7 early 8 early/ wee hours" at dawn in the morning to attend an 8.30am tutorial class, which I really didn't want to attend because I'm so lack of sleep (Lorna said my under eyes are black and I look sick), but got up to go to it anyway because I'm in my final year, and more mature and hardworking and disciplined (somewhat wtf). 

I later, sped to uni, arrived 10 minutes late, only to meet my classmates walking out of the elevator. They're Indonesian, I don't really know them, but they were so kind as the first thing they told me when they saw me was, "class cancelled! Lecturer's still sick".  I was like =________= because he cancelled yesterday's 8.30am class also without notifying us too! :( 

That's not the end! 

I decided not to waste my petrol for speeding all the way to uni, so I called Agnes, who was already in uni to have breakfast. Had some thick Neslo (coffee+Milo) and sandwiches which caused my morning stomachache to come. My morning stomachaches are hell I tell you, when I feel I have to go, I HAVE TO go lol. So I went to the toilet(s) to find out that the WHOLE uni did not have toilet paper because the supplier was on holiday like wtffml. And I was desperate so, my very smart secret agent mind came to play. It's really simple! :D SO useful if you're in a desperate situation as I was in. >_<. But I am not liable for any misfortunes/ mistakes/ accidents whatsoever that may happen from performing the task >_<. 

To perform the following act-out-of-desperation task, one must always have a ready sanitary pad prepared, and must also ensure that the toilet cubicle has a clean, working water hose.

After doing the "business", was the tricky part. Firstly, use the water hose to wash away all crap and dirt around wherever you know, u need wash. Do it while sitting on the toilet bowl so you prevent wetting your legs. After you are sure you have not a single speck of icky smelly brown coloured stuff left on your skin, use the sanitary pad to wipe away the water. And you're clean for the day! Well of course you should always wash up when you go home. But, see! so simple! tell me I'm smart. Damn, sanitary pad companies should hire me to think of the various alternative uses for sanitary pads. I think I could think of more! 

Anyway gtg do my assignment. "aih~! So Bussieh!"

A song

I can never find in Kbox(s). :(

But I love :D

♫

Just sharing a couple of songs stuck in my head now :D

Nelly - Just a Dream

2NE1 - I Don't Care

Karen Mok - Guang Dao Zhi Lian

I don't think there'll be many updates for maybe a month now, because I'm going through this phase where er, blogging is the last thing on my mind now. Cheers =)~

Color my Cwabbie

Above is my first time trying out this kiddie coloring thing :D It's so FUN! 

Met Agnes and friends after a movie and MBO and saw them coloring cute little pictures with these paint bottles on these really short tables. The colors were so bright and the pictures so cute that my eyes widened with interest! Then, I had to try this thing out because Aggy said I can paste it on smooth surfaces such as glass and laptops. When I heard 'laptop', I immediately ran into the store and got myself one of the lil pics.

 First, you choose a design. It's something like a rubbery frame that the sales assistants will place on this thin metal board. Then, you fill in the frame with these bright colorful paint thingys. Finally, after you're done, you hand it back to the sales person and they will oven-bake it for one minute and woarah

SO effin' cute! and the color's so bright! love love love!

Stuck it on my laptop :D Finally, I think my purple laptop don't look too disgusting anymore lol.

You guys and girls who still have a heart as young as mine, can head over to the lil kiddy artsy stores in front of MBO to try this out! tee hee!

And here's another nail art design I recently came up with. With some inspiration of course heh.

It's rather complicated but I like it. I call it Fall because of the red leaves and drops of white snow. :D

This Girl ♥

Loving this song! First heard it in Step Up 3, the part where the 2 main characters were standing on the vent blowing their Slurpee-like drinks that flew! Oh man, I wonder if it really works. If I ever go there, I would most definitely try that! :

Laza Morgan - This Girl (Video)


Lyrics:


1/2 Chorus:
There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me if me go to war (my girl)

Verse:
Love you cuz you are, every single star
In the constellation, that’s enlightening my heart
Special gift from Jah, wherever you are
Girl you got more presence than a hundred santa clauses,
And I know (I know) we’ll stand together when the world falls down
And I know (I know) that our forever’s gonna start right now, yeah

Chorus:
There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me if me go to war (my girl)
There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me till we in the floor (my girl)

Verse:
These are hardest times, love’s so hard to find
Blessed is the man who has a woman at his side
This for you I write, never do me wrong
If you’re ever missing me just listen to this song
And you know (you know) we lay together when the sun goes down
And I know (I know) still be together when it comes back ’round (back round,
yeah)

Chorus:
There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me if me go to war (my girl)
There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me till we in the floor (my girl)

I said she stay down with me if me go to war
I said she stay down with me till we in the floor

Outro:
Girl give me everything I need
She’s there every time I call upon her, ya know?
My Girl, it’s Laza… 

...modnaR

The week passed by in a blink of an eye. It will be the 2nd week of classes soon. I think the holidays were so good, it gave me so much time to do everything I wanted and needed to do, until it got me so bored.. And now that school has started, all my mind thinks about doing is, homework. :D Hope this doesn't fade away too soon!

Oh yeah, sold my little white baby, the Sony T2... Cos Imma get a better one soon! yay~ 

Got caught up with Pretty Little Liars too, finished the first 10 episodes in three days thanks to Lorna who's been feeding me dramas. Yum! This one, compared to Gossip Girls, is so much more frustrating T.T It even creeps me out sometimes because it involves a dead person. Can't wait till Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries and Glee starts again! aaa~ oh and 90210.. Oh no! This is me getting over excited over many things at once again >_<.

Tried sitting in the FIAT X19 on a sunny Sunday with the top dowm, Dammmnnn was it hot! But when the car moved it didn't feel that hot la, very windy.. But the sun still shines. Thank goodness for sunblock lol.

See how bright the sky is! Night time is way better with the top down.. Cause it's cooler, and above you, will only be stars and the moon ;)

Sweeter nails for the weekend. Light purple base. Shimmering purple grid, and light pink flowers with a silver rhinestone in the middle.

Till next time! bye

Haulz

It's been a while since I talked about shopping, because it's been a long time since I shopped, because of  Daph's Ultimate Saving Plan (DUSP). The plan was an upcoming success but then the Malaysian Mega Sale had to come along. :S

However, after much debate and rationalizing, the DUSP committee (consisting of Daph's brain cells, conscious and boyfriend), decided that it's okay to do a little bit of shopping while there are sales for future economical benefits. >_<.

Then again, didn't do much shopping lar teehee. Only bought like a surf short, jeans shorts, an MNG basic blouse and an Esprit tank top. See, so little, so practical, so 'comforting', and am gonna save some of them for Chinese New Year anyway *comforts self*.

Love the surf shorts because it's so 2 in 1. It's simple black and white short on the outside but the upper band can be flipped to make it low cut and get this awesome zebra design  on the waist. heart. 

Always wanted a pair of jeans shorts and I finally found the perfect one with the right color and right bottom fold! You don't know how long I've been looking for this! So worth it :p Anyway, I find shorts very worth it because I wear them all the time. And they don't betray you as fast as long jeans do. I mean, when you just gain that coughtinybitofcough weight, long jeans suddenly get so tight it's uncomfortable to wear them! (Not that I gained anything. /looks away)

Bought all that Roxy because one, it's my favorite store in Spring, two, discounts start from 20%-50% now! And boyfie has the member card so that's like an additional 10%! AND, for every RM100 purchase you get a RM10 voucher! So, all in all, so worth it to go shop there now! 

Enjoy your mega sales shopping people! tata
