在你身边

在她的右边，牵你的左手
在你的右边，握你的右手
握你的左手，感受你的温柔
她的掌心，藏着他想要的温暖

Comet

Comet
By Charmaine Soo

They are
stars falling
from the sky
They stop sparkling
stop to shine
Children of the earthing
dancing under
showers of the diamonds
and ring the chimes
Never stop praying
for new star to rise
that waits for THE child
to never cease
it's brightest shine

Hi blogger!

It's been 4 months plus after my last post.
Well, I was in university, and many things happens, let's see.
I am back to the single ladies' group. This is probably the BIGGEST thing happened in the past 4 months.
After two months in university, we broke up because we find it hard to go on again. Yes, I HAD a hard time.

Next, I am joining a band in my university under the Chinese Society's Music Club. My band is called Fly Young. It is made up of 5 people including me, 3 girls, 2 guys. I'm playing the guitar!

My life in UPSI was unexpectedly fun because of this band and music thingy, it is so awesome to play music! The life in UPSI was busy that's why I haven't been updating my blog often. (assignments assignments lectures lectures meetings meetings events preparation etc.) And these business occupied me so much that I can hardly think about sad things, so it's good to be busy sometimes. =)

And AND AND!! My niece was born!!
Her name is Xin En and she has sexy kissable lips~

I've thought about a lot a lot of things, and I'm so grateful that I have great friends and family backing me up. I knew I'm not a good enough. Therefore, I have set up some goals for myself, I'm going to be a better person, give my best for myself. I'm going to bring back the positive, confident and lively Charmaine!

I've met many new friends in university, different people that are lively and lovely. Although something unhappy happened. I'm grateful.

I am grateful that I have family that loves me.

I am grateful that I can be myself.

I am grateful that I went for a jog today.
I am grateful that my hard-works on my academic performance paid off. But I still can do better!

I'll be better without you. No worries.

1st of September: my first day in UPSI

Wake up wake up!
3am in the morning i was waken by my cellphone. I was dreaming about myself investigating onbsome wesen as I was a grim(currently watching and obsessed with: Grimm) Lol...

Slept for four hours then getting up preparing for the journey to my new chapter. I depart at 4:30am with my parents. Car full loaded with my stuff. My session for registration was actually 10:30am but we arrived too early at 8:12am LOL...but arrive early is better than arrive late cuz i can finish up all this registration thibgs earlier and settle down and have rest.

Well, Jes is my roommate. We live in Khar at the new campus, campus Sultan Azlan Shah of UPSI. Lets talk about the campus...well its new, the room is big but the toilet is super small, omg. Everyroom is equipped with 2 beds 2 table 2 wall rack 2 cupboard. There are three room for two in each house and 2 toilet with shower and a corner for us to do some laundry and two basin. It can be said tat it was well equipped and we have a washing machine, a dryer equipped, juss toss in few coins then you can do your laundry.

Jes and I are taking the same course which is great! We are having a pleasant time =)

10:30am I registered in Khar and start moving my things to my hostel. That kills me! Parents' car are not allowed to go in!!(wth) so me, papa, and mami have to lift my stuff from the carpark to the hostel and climb 3 floors stairs. My dad almost pass out so as we...omg...many parents are in the same condition. The authorities shouldn't do it like this. They are worried about traffic jams but not the condition of the students and their parents or guardian etc. Many are old people you know and have to lift heavy good from the carpark to hostel which i believe is a few hundrdd metres far depend on where u park your car and how unlucky u are.. haiz....

Currently I am standing and waiting for bus to take us to Dewan besar, two bus is going to take few hundreds students I can barely feel my legs. OMG it was so painful to stand stand stand and walk walk walk and barely have time to sit down and rest...phew...I'm dying and thats good cuz i will sleep like a dead tonight, no more sleeping problems on new bed!

I hope tomorrow will be better

Peach!! Yum yum...

Once a month I'm back again with some UPDATE

I woke up today and realize: Oh! I haven't update my pretty little blog for weeekss(as I always did)

Sorry little bloggie booky because I forget about you.

Talking about my workout journal. NAH!! since the third week of August I have been sooooooooooooo lazzyyy to workout because I'm in HOLIDAY~! 

No need to wake up early in the morning and sleep by 12 at night. This makes me an owl.

Sleeping through the morning, wake up at afternoon, and stay up at night.

so, staying up for what?

Um...playing my The Sims 3, youtubing, watching soap drama, blaah

total disaster as now I have to recover from all these things and live a normal life again(sleep and wake at the right time) OMG.....my mind have been telling me:"STOP THIS! YOU SHOULD NOT KEEP DOING THESE!!" but my other mind tolds me:"DON'T CARE A S*** ABOUT IT JUST EAT SLEEP PLAY AND GET FAT!!MUAHAHAHHA"

So, really, I get fat again. I do jog like when I'm in the mood or the weather is good, but that did not help because it was not consistent.

so I gained the kilos I lost last month. *hello fat fat*

I think I'll start working out again when I'm in University. 

I finished watched Game Of Thrones until the recent Season in JUST A WEEK!!

It is really GOOD!!!(but if it have less 18+ scene which is unnecessary it would be BETTER)

 

I discovered a youtube star's channel, Stilababe09.

This channel was hosted by Meredith Foster, a young girl videoing her tips, makeup tutorial, fashion haul, style steal etc(what most youtuber do)

I really like her voice and her video are funny and interesting, so I enjoy watching it, and I adore her HAIR!!

I wish I can have hair like her.*looking out of the window staring far far away with sparkles in my eyes aka dreaming*

Here is she, pretty and young. *gosh I feel so old*

Here's her channel links: http://www.youtube.com/user/StilaBabe09

And Michelle Phan launched her own makeup line, em michelle phan. Congratulations~~

I'm really interested with the eyeshadow palette but it is not available in Malaysia yet and I heard the price was not that friendly. =( 

Then I review about some study tips that might help me in University and found out a really good note taking skills called the Cornell Note taking system. This help!!

If you wanna improve your study skills, you should really go and find out some really good tips or figure out an effective way to boost your performance!

Now, here is a template for this system. Image I found on google~

Month of August-month of preparation.

Its holiday but I seldom go out except some shopping or what etc etc because my friends are still studying and my friends who are also holidaying live too far away for me, its hard to hang out with them.

So I stayed home keep connected with the mighty Wifi and keep connected with them. Stay tuned infront of my labtop.

Wait, there is a phrase for my life, 宅 

NOOO!!!!! I really must stop!!! cuz a new life is coming up!! no more lazy and louzy lifestyle.

I must break out of procastination!! And kill all those FAT away, omg...

STOP and GET a LIFE!!

Peace

Still Alive!!

[Fit&Healthy!] Workout Journal #2

I have been working out for a month!! not that big different however....but I lost 3 kg in these days.

Day 3-12: 3/7~12/7/2013

Workout as usual, concentrating on my abs and arms. I figure out my own set of abs workout, its actually a combination of workout from XHIT, but I choose those workout which I can do and can FEEL THE BURN. phew...after abs workout, I can feel some pain in my ab, but would not be aching the other day. (Maybe is because of I didn't overdone it) I did like 7~8minutes abs, 5~6minutes arms and continue with some butt or thigh workout. everyday I did like 25~30minutes. I didn't sweat much or my sweat dries out very quickly. I ate like usual, 3 meals a day. Breakfast at 8:30am, a cup of Milo or Nestum. Lunch at 12:30pm, I ate rice everyday, typical South East Asia Chinese food. Dinner at 7pm, I had rice also. I will have a piece of biscuit at work after breakfast at about 10 something, I'll also have snack at 5pm after work which I will be hungry at that time, my snack will be a pack of baked potato crakers or some biscuit to fill my tummy before dinner is ready. 

Day 13-17: 

I'm not feeling well that day and I had my mc after that, so I stop working out and just rest myself. At the third day of mc, when I feel better, I did some triceps workout with my 1kg weights. Its a very light workout. During these days I rest my whole lower body and never drink any cold drinks to keep myself away from abdominal aches. And I sleeps a lot and have extra snacks because I get hungry easily during mc.

Day 18-21:

I just feel so lazy after few days of rest. LOL. I just did some simple leg lifting to workout my abs. Did some simple triceps workout while watching my Triumph In Skies 2!! then  I got hooked on the computer whole day....LOL...Laziness beat me! BAD BAD!!

Day 22~26:

As usual, abs and arm workout, then thigh then butt, I remember my glutes are in pain after I did the butt workout and I walk very weirdly HAHAHAAA!! Probably because I seldom workout that part of my body.

I ate normally these days. No overeating, No skipping meals, *yippee~!!

Day 27: I skipped working out because its SATURDAYY. I went out with Mr M and attend to my cousin's Birthday Party and I ate quite much that evening. Ooops!

Day 28: Today

Its Sunday!! Usually I am so lazy on Sunday and forget about workout, but today~ I went jogging~~

I did stretching and warm up because I don't wanna experience muscle pain. I did not run fast(I can't too), I just run with my own pace and breathing rhythmically, when I get tired I switch from jogging to fast walking. 

After the jog I did some arm, thigh, abs workout and jump jump jump in front of my house like I had a rope in my hand.

That's all~~

phew, I did not update my blog for so long about my project S, LOL, but thats not mean I had ald giving up on that. I did do little notes to reminds myself what I had do and to write this journal had become one of my motivatiion!!!

GO GO GO!!! 

Charmaine

New Journey!!

Happy Holiday!! No work tomorrow!! Hooray!!

By the way... already weeks after my last post here...

I've been kinda busy working on my 'Slimming' Project *teehee>.< and preparing to enroll in University.

I will be studying in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, UPSI on 1st of September. 

What course I'm taking? Teaching English as Second Language(TESL)

Its my first choice of course when I fill in the UPU form.

Feel nervous and lack of confidence. Why? Because My English is only at average level. And I haven't speak in English for MONTHS. And I never Read since high school. My Vocab are Oh My Goodnessly poor. And don't talk to me about grammar...*running away with tears...

Then why choose English? I always like to use English more than Mandarin, but my Mandarin is better than English(of course lah! Using it more maah) Actually I want to study about Foreign Language>.<. But I didn't get the offer by UPM(pointer not high enough =( ) I want to learn about English more, their history, their morphology, their formation, many more!! So, TRY HARD(not try best) to catch up with the PRO~ 

In the past few weeks I went to banks to create accounts, apply for loans, scolarships etc, takes photos, and bought my first Baju Kurung! Its a traditional Malay attire. Its consider formal wear here in Malaysia. Long Long dress, gotta learn how to walk like a lady or not I will step on myself~!

I'm excited as well as worried. UPSI is a univesity located at Tg Malim,Perak. As I know, there aren't places for entertainment there like what we have in Penang. NO cinemas!! NO mall!!! It will be hard for me >.<....I like to enjoy luxurious afternoon once in a while, watch hit movies on screen, and shopping! Well...Kuala Lumpur is not far away though, 70-80km far away... I can hoop on a bus or train and get into the city!! This comfort me...huhu~~

Tanjong Malim, a new place for me...how is the food there?how is the enviroment?how are the people there?hmmm....

The view of my journey is still so blur now. No clue yet what will I be studying or doing in there, cuz campus cife is totally different? I hope I can get the timetable faster, and gather more info about the hostels, surroundings, utilities there....*damn anxious

Woola!! At last I manage to get into University, Good Job to myself =D
Can't wait untill everything is settled!! >.<

PS: Mr M will be going to UTeM, Malacca, haiz...we will be far apart...*sobs, btw, I'm 46kg now, 3 kgs lighter than before!! and many of my pants and clothes are big to me now...*teehee
