Too Much information Tag!

I was tagged by Liyana Jasmi to do this Too Much Information Tag. It is too much information because it's 50 freaking questions! Probably I'm the only one who hasn't done this yet. Always left behind, aye? Without further ado, let get started.

Q1. What are you wearing?
I'm currently working, so I'm wearing a black blazer, knitted sweater, long sleeve thermal top, plaid scarf, high waist jeans, and sneaker. Because it's freaking cold outside! 4'c and it's not even winter yet.

Q2. Ever been in love? 
Yes.

Q3. Ever had a terrible breakup? 
Yes. And that makes me hard to give a full commitment in a relationship or not so serious with that person or just follow-the-flow.

Q4. How tall are you?
4'11. 150 cm. Too short for 22years old huh. If we all (Bloggers) gathered, I think I'm the smallest among us lol

Q5. How much do you weigh?
Okay, this is so embarrassing because I'm underweight. Probably 39kg? The heaviest I can go is 41kg. I hate it when already told them that I eat a lot yet they still say that I need to eat more, no need to diet or whatsoever. Seriously, how-much-more-you-want-me-to-eat? So, any tips for gaining weight other than to eat more?

Q6. Any tattoos?
Nope.

Q7. Any piercings?
I got ear piercing when I was 4 or 5 until now.

Q8. OTP? 
What is OTP anyway?

Q9. Favorite show? 
Property Brothers, Stranger Things and Running Man.

Q10.Favorite bands? 
80's-90's and early 20's. Also Youtuber like Cimorelli and Pentatonix.

Q11. Something you miss?
Hometown, family, friends in Malaysia and Malaysian Food of course.

White, red, black, purple and green olive. I painted my room purple with white wardrobe and red curtains. Can you imagine how it looks like? Too much going on huh lol

Q19. Loud music or soft? 
Both. It depends on my mood. Loud music when I'm happy and when I'm sleepy at work or when I had a mood swing, and I need to boost up my mood and energy. Soft music when I'm sad to get even sadder or to relax.

Q20. Where do you go when you're sad?

Q23. Have you ever been in a physical fight?
Yes. I'm known as a quiet, kind person to those I'm not overly close to, but I did have a physical fight for a couple of times. 

When I was in elementary school, I always get bullied because I'm tiny and even students two years younger than me love to bully me. These two girls punched me in the stomach when I'm six years old, and they are just four years old. One day, when I'm in year 6, they still bother me, and one of them throw something, and it hit my head, I got so mad, and I chase after them. She runs to her classroom like run for your life, but I manage to grab her hair, pull her towards me and pushed her against the wall. And pull her hair again, push her to the table. I remember she hit her waist at the corner of the table (that must be hurt, right?) and last, I pull her back and bring her to go outside of the classroom and push her again to the small drain. Suddenly, I snap! I was like, What have I done? Then I run away, hiding in my classroom. After school, she was waiting for me at the bus stop, and I can see her mad face from far. But hey, I got my friends to confront her, all Year 5 and Year 6 students. Even the other kids that bully me were helping me too haha. Okay, that's that. Eventually, they are my best friend now lol

Q24. Turn on? 
Kindness, old folks with babies/toddlers, food, and politeness.

Q25. Turn off?
Rude, busybody and two faced people.

Q26. The reason I joined Blogger? 
First, I found blogging is kind of interesting and felt amazed when I stalked my friends blog back then. And to share my thought and make friends. By the way, I had this thought that maybe I should stop blogging because... I don't know 

Q27. Fears?
COCKROACH! and losing my family and friends.

Q28. Last thing that made you cry?
My mom shows me a video she took at the residential community for adults with functional disabilities. They show my mom their homemade Christmas decoration, explained how the make it. They are so excited about it like it's a big thing for them. So adorable, I cannot. I wish I could hug them tight.

Q29. Last time you said you love someone?
My dad?

Q30. Meaning behind your blog name?
Nothing. People always tend to say "Wow, you look so young." or "You look like a high school student."  and thought Miss Young Lady is a perfect name for my blog lol. I'm still thinking about to change my blog name, like use my real name to look professional(?) but um nahhhh.

NOVEMBER 2016 ROUND UP


Welcome to my November Round Up post! The holiday season is finally upon us! Goodbye, November! I know November ended six days ago. But six days late won't hurt, right? A lot of things happened in November; it is hard to keep up and remember anything. November was a good month for me despite being busy at work. We celebrated the Thanksgiving with family and friends. There's a lot of food. Thanksgiving lunch at the office, Thanksgiving dinner, etc. But here I am still underweight lol. Okay, let's get started with November's recap, shall we?
MOVIE


Doctor Strange - I love this movie. It's unlike any Marvel film I've seen. I enjoyed watching this film even though I feel a bit dizzy with the visual effects. I also have to mention that the acting of Benedict Cumberbatch, as usual, was top notch! 4.9/5 ❤❤❤❤❤

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them - Great movie. I like the characters, parts of the story and the special effect. The movie started out slow, but very much enjoyed the ride of the story.  ❤❤❤❤❤

HAUL


I bought lots of things during this month, such as beauty product that I don't really need lol. Surprisingly, I didn't purchase any skincare product like I always did every month. I bought them all from Amazon except the Rimmel London Stay Matte products.
1. Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation, True Beige - $4.49
2. Premium Quality Plastic Cosmetic Storage and Makeup Palette Organizer - $11.99
3. NYX Cosmetics Make Up Setting Spray, Matte Finish/Long Lasting - $7.99
4. Mary Kay Oil Mattifier - $14
5. Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder, Sandstrom 004 - $3.99
6. H&B Collection Teeth Whitening Kit - $9.99
7. NYX Cosmetic Proof It Waterproof Eye Shadow Primer Base - $7.25
1. I got this Women's Rocket Dog Citrus Fleech High-Top Sneaker from Marshalls. I was in a dilemma whether to buy it or not because it retails $24.99 and I could buy few pair of clothes with that money. But I'm so happy with my decision. I love these, and they are very cute! It's perfect for the winter season because there's sometimes I don't feel like to wear long boots. 

2. I love coloring too much that I own a few coloring books and pencil colors (4 boxes). Coloring is quite soothing and stresses reliever. These take a while to color but come out great. It's good for these days when being an adult is annoying.

I haven't read book for years, and I bought these books just because. I don't know lol. While waiting for our movie, I went to Books A Million and got amazed with all the books. Most of them are in bargain price. I'm lost for a while, feels like 'If I had money I would buy all of them' but I get my sense back.
1. The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins - $9.99
2. Of Neptune by Anna Banks - $3.97
3. The Truth About Alice by Mathieu - $2.97
4. SHADOW FALLS The Beginning by c.c. Hunter - $3.97

MUSIC 
Closer - The Chainsmokers ft Halsey
Father - Demi Lovato
Best Day Of My Life (cover) - Cimorelli ft Tyler Ward
Boom Clap - Charli XCX
Seven Years - Lukas Graham
Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilot
LIFE
Nothing much really going on actually. Same thing happens every month. Same routine. Being busy at work and this month I always back home late. It's already dark when I reached home. I usually get off from work around 4.30 pm before and now sometimes I'm still in the office even if it's 5 pm. Other than being busy at work, I always come late to work. It's getting colder here in Houston, and it's hard for me to wake up early in the morning. I spent too much time standing in front of the bathtub, thinking do I need to shower and I dread the end of my hot shower because I know I will be freezing once I open the curtain. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Despite waking up cold, I'm so excited that it finally falls weather! I can finally break out the winter clothes. Oh, how I've missed my boots and my cardigans, sweaters, and jackets.

That's it! Hope everyone is having a fantastic November heart

MY BUCKET LIST 2017


I just stumbled upon Erin's latest blog post about the type of posts she always read and found out this one interesting topic that can help me to update my blog. WISHLIST. I love reading everyone else's and would always say things like, "Oh, that's on my bucket list!". I have had a bucket list in my mind, but for one reason my list was never actually written out because my list might be mean nothing to someone else. So this is my first wishlist. Now, without further do, here is my bucket list.

1. Move into an apartment
I've been saving to get my own place for a few months now. I am a long way from my target and am not entirely sure I will ever be able to afford to rent a decent apartment. There's an apartment that I really like which is just a few block from my parent's house but damn why is it so expensive T.T Price range for 2 bedrooms 1 1/2 bathroom is $1,1225 - $1,275 per month. I'm waiting for any top deals like 2 months free or move in specials. While waiting for that, I'm saving my money because for sure I'm going to move out next year (sooner or later) :)

2.Own a Laptop -  MacBook Pro / MacBook Air
I've been eyeing this laptop for a few months now. I spent more than 9 hours a day in front of desktop and thought that I need a laptop. We do have a desktop at home (in my bedroom to be exact) but I ain't gonna spend my time, stuck in front of desktop in the room all the time. Since MacBook is goddam expensive and I need to save money, I might consider paying monthly. But I'm kind of confused which MacBook should I get. Any suggestion?

3. Driving License 
It identifies you as a licensed driver. Who wants to get arrested for driving without a valid license? If I get pulled over by a police officer or state trooper, the first thing that he or she will ask for is driver's license. But what can I do, I don't have time to go to Texas Driver License.

4. Travel / Vacation
I haven't traveled since 2013 till now. I really love to travel, and it's my dream to travel around the world. Well, who doesn't right? For my first vacation without parents, I think travel to South Korea is a good start for me. Sooo, I'm really counting on traveling next year in April or May with my sister. Or alone if she can't make it. I would love to go on a vacation with friends but I everyone is busy. Is there anyone want to be my travel partner?

5. Color my hair
I cannot stand having the same hairstyle or hair color, but I won't make a sudden change. I've been thinking to dye my hair again, but I keep on reminding myself that I just colored my hair in Malaysia and paid RM600 for it. I kinda miss my old light brown hair and might go for it this end of the year.

6. Blogging
- Making sure blog is always up-to-date 
- Meet a blogging friend in real life

There's a lot more I want to list, but it will never be ending wishlist. There you go my short term wishlist. What is on your bucket list?

Malaysia Trip | October Wrap Up

Whew, it's already November huh. Halloween is over; next will be Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS and then New Year's Eve. Almost at the end of the year 2016. How time flies so fast. A lot of things happen during this month and some of you might already know that I just back from Malaysia two weeks ago. I didn't have a chance to update my blog while I'm in Malaysia because I was so busy. So, today I'm going to post about my short vacation wrap up or 'October Wrap Up'. I know it's sort of late but better late than never, right?

FLIGHTS



Ohh, I'm sick with the plane right now. Not only because of the long flights but had to fly numerous times on the flight. From Houston to Kuala Lumpur itself took 20 hours and 40 minutes with layover 3 and half an hour in Taipei. The next day after arrival in Kuala Lumpur, I need to fly to Sandakan for almost 3 hours for my convocation. Two nights after that, flight to Kota Kinabalu and drive straight back to my hometown. After a week in the Kampong, flight back to Kuala Lumpur and spend five days before the long flight back to Houston. Approximately, I have been on the plane for seven times withing two weeks. No more flying after this because being inside the plane for a long time is not fun at all. Well, at least not for this year. 

A WEEK IN SABAH

1. CONVOCATION IN SANDAKAN


The convocation was held at Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan on 8th of November, and we had to be there the day before. On Friday, we came a bit late for my convocation's registration at the hotel because the registration was started at 9 am. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we checked in and then go to the registration desk and try my robe. And come back at 2 pm for convocation's rehearsal. That's when the jetlag hit me. I'm so tired and sleepy, like super tired and extremely sleepy. I've been caught fall asleep for a few times by my friends and other students. The day of my convocation, I felt bored for the entire time of the ceremony which is I don't know why. I'm not excited at all, and I was a bit grumpy. Whoever handled that event, it was so un-organize. I feel like, if I can turn back time, I wouldn't come ( or I'm expecting too much maybe?).

2. HOMETOWN (KOTA MARUDU)



I was so excited that after almost a year been away, I finally get back to my hometown and spend time with my family (especially my grandparent that I miss the most) and some of my friend. When I was in my hometown, I never stayed at home during the day and only back home when it's almost midnight, to sleep. Since my grandma was so clingy, that she always sticks with me even thou I wanted to hang out with my friends, we made a deal. During the day I'll spend time with her and other families (means I'll be her driver) and at night with my only friends. It was tiring, to be honest. I woke up early in the morning at 5 am, went out for the whole day and home when it's evening. Then, going out again to meet up with friends and home before midnight. And mind that I'm still jetlagged at the time and tried so hard to hold my sleepiness. Despite tiredness, I enjoyed every second I'm with them.

A WEEK IN KUALA LUMPUR


As soon as we arrived in KL, we dropped our luggage at home then mom took us out for late lunch. Because it's already late for lunch and we didn't have breakfast on the plane, I ate two sets of ayam penyet (talking about ayam penyet, I'm craving for it now). We thought that we'd get some rest or a lazy day. Guess I'm wrong. It was as busy as I am in Sabah, but at least I get to wake up late in KL. Almost every day I went out with my friends, and I'm happy that they're willing to spend their time with me while they were busy with their assignments. 

FOODS


I didn't get to eat all the food on my list because I'm so busy spending my time with my family and friends. But I did get to eat some fruits (especially MANGGA) and some of my favorite food as shown above ( I forgot to snap all the food because you know when the foods in front of you and the only thing you want to do is EAT). And hell yeah, we brought lots of food all the way from Malaysia to Houston especially the ikan masin, ikan bilis, kicap cap kipas udang etc. I think for those who lived aboard can relate to this.

JETLAG 

Compared from Houston to Malaysia and from Malaysia to Houston, I think jet lag is tougher when I'm back from Malaysia. Anyone who has crossed multiple time zones knows the misery of the jet lag. You're tired when you need to be alert, you can't sleep when supposed to. I almost fall asleep when I'm driving home (I did for a few seconds and realized that I'm driving at the center of the lane). As soon I'm home, I straightly went to my bed to sleep and woke up at midnight, and looking for food. I didn't sleep till morning and went to work after that. Suprisingly, I feel so energetic even thou I didn't sleep at night and get sleepy when it's 3 pm. Anyway, I'm getting better now and the good thing is I go to sleep early every night :) 

Here  you go te summary of  my October Wrap up!

This proves difficult, however, especially when everyone is a suspect and anyone could be a victim.

REVIEW
This 12 episodes show are entertaining, dark and have you on edge with plenty of jumps and screams to be had. I get hooked after first three episodes. It feels kind of teenagery at first but then the plot thickens and twist. Each time I think I know who it may be, I begin to question myself due to the other turns with characters. This show makes you want to scream (well, at least for me), I barely managed all of 5 minutes before turning it off. Because I'm to scared to watch what happened next, I even mute the TV and closed half of my eyes and sing out loud at the same time. It makes me feel anxious every second of the show. This TV series shows us to trust nobody too. Well, I'm ready to watch Season 2. Score : 4.9/5

As they uncover the truth, a sinister government agency tries to cover it up, while a more insidious force lurks below the surface.

REVIEW
If you haven't watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, you really should. This show only has eight episodes and the story is told in a clear way. This show isn't too scary. However, Stranger Things is spooky in a '80s film sort of way. To be fair, this show is more trippy than scary. This kind of fantasy will make you feel like a kid again. If you love movies like The Goonie or E.T., you gonna love this show too. However, the ending of this season, there's a lot of questions were left unanswered, which prompted an unending waterfall of what-ifs for me. Well, I'm looking forward to the Season 2 of this show. Score 5/5
