Real Smooth

Yang Safia On Friday, January 25, 2013

It's no mystery to my family and friends that I am a big fan of Adventure Time. Although I have to admit that I don't keep up with the show. I just watch whatever that comes by me. I found this sneak peek this morning of my favourite gender bender character, Marshall Lee and oh my, I'm in love. The cool thing about Adventure Time (of which I so would totally make my own children watch even though I feel people would question my parenting skills) is the show's ability to create such witty and mindblowing-ly awesome script and lyrics. I mean, listen to Marshall's smooth rap in this video!

Oh my ovaries.

Hello and Goodbye

Yang Safia On Sunday, January 20, 2013

I'm back!!! Just finished my interview yesterday and I am back with the usual program~ Hopefully. These pictures are weeks old but I need to share them because they are important!

First off lets start with the HELLO! Secret Club reunites after one year! Everyone's back in Malaysia for the holidays and we all spent a day together at Midvalley Megamall. Supposedly we wanted to make it a total girls' day out filled with shopping and eating but alas, eating was the only thing we did. Get four talkative girls at a table and that's pretty much what you get!

PS: I'm sorry if the pictures are obnoxiously big. I'm just obnoxious.

Fun Times

It sucks now that we all live in different parts of the world. We used to live so close to each other to the point that I was sick of seeing their faces! Haha jokes. That is one thing I hate about growing up. Things change and people move on.

Now speaking of growing up, my little childhood bestie is so grown up that she is doing her Masters now! Actually she's halfway through her Masters but she hasn't gotten her official send off at KLIA because we wanted the whole sisterhood there. I got home and the foursome is finally complete!

KLIA:25/12/12

Shira's flight was at 12AM so we chilled at Secret Recipe with her family. Look at Rizq! He's so handsome now!

Overall it is good to be back home for good. :)

Not a good start at 2013!

We are entering the mid of January 2013 and already I have shown my lack of blogging for the new year. Honestly not a good start for this blog but there are two reasons why:

a) I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and while I often blog about it, this is something that is actually at a planning stage so nothing is set in stone just yet. Also I have made a commitment with the body that I am involved with not to document any of my experiences just yet. All I can say is that I am really nervous!

b) I am working on refurbishing my old room into a functional room that actually suits my life right now. I'm getting rid of the high school stuff and moving in all the stuff that are relevant to me into this room. It has taken a lot of my time as well. I will probably do a room tour once I've really settled in. FYI: The rest of my stuff from NZ are coming in this Tuesday so I am really excited! But that means more stuff to sort out! Arghhh!!!

If you really want to see what I'm up to, do follow me on Instagram! :D

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale

Yang Safia On Thursday, January 3, 2013

Happy New Year everyone! It sucks that I'm kicking off 2013 with an apology but I'm sorry that this blog hasn't been loved as of late. Ever since I returned to Malaysia things have been hectic on my end. In a way it felt kind of good because my days are filled with events but on the other hand, my online life has been quite neglected. A balanced (?) life is definitely my goal this year!

One of the highlights ever since I've been back was the massive book haulin' I've had been doing as of late. Hooboy I can't wait to film the mother of all hauls with what I've got! The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is an event of legends that I can only dream of going when I was in New Zealand. I never thought I could go that it slipped my mind that it was still on when I got back!

The whole family hadn't really beaten the jetlag when my dad burst into my room at 5AM saying we should go book haulin' LIKE NOW. I was shocked, tired and sceptical. He said that his friend told him on this crazy dirt-cheap book sale that the best time to go was in the morning. It took me awhile to be convinced of the actuality of this book sale when I found myself unloading all the contents of my luggage bag and on the passenger's seat of my dad's truck.

It was freaking perfect. I was in book nerd heaven. Everything was new and cheap. It was...just too amazing. I didn't even need coffee to be awake.

If I could, I'd jizz my pants seeing my favourite genre all spread out like this:
