February updates.

Cannot even believe its actually the end of February already. Sorry for the procastination. Yeah, two posts only for February. Slacker, I know. :/ Anyways, I'm back in Penang for Semester 2! So far everything is going well. All the timetable that clashes became unclashed because the kind lecturer adjusted the time to fit us all :D

I don't think I updated much about my semester breaks and CNY. So here, I'm gonna just do a summary post. Hehe. So lazy I can't even but sorry! :p

Well I gotta admit, as we grow up, CNY became more and more boring. Cousins got married.  Some left for study. Some passed away. Families became smaller. A lot of things changed in a year. But I'm glad my family is still complete and my parents are still healthy as ever!

Well, other than family gathering, I gotta say the part that I most look forward to is meeting up with friends and going house visiting! :D Its not easy to gather everyone especially when we are all studying in different places already! 

Ciuyi, SenChen and I!

The primary gang that i'm so proud of!

Seriously, how many of you still keep contact with your primary mates? :D

I'm glad I do!

KU gang!

Gotta admit I kinda abandoned them since I entered Form6.

But they give me the feeling of hokkien lang like nobody else could!

Miss Julio so much and he's just getting "prettier". lol

My Form6 classmates!

Honestly, they are the coolest and most 玩得起 people I've ever met.

They never fail to lift up my gloomy mood. :))

Love them always ♥

This is a very random gang of all Klangies!

p/s : Suey Erz has the coolest dad ever and she don't even realise it! LOL

My silly BIGBANG/Running Man gang.

Which happens to be my sister's friends. 

Happy birthday, nickprawn :D

sister loves.

2013 started real rough for me. Hopefully, it gets better from now on. And of course, I'll do my utmost best to keep my blog updated from time to time. Since I'm in Penang now, there will hardly be any review posts. Bare with my rants. Hehe

Till then, xoxo!

[TUTORIAL] How to use Paypal for Malaysian Users

Recently, I bought something online and I was required to pay in another currency and the seller only accept payment via Paypal. With this, I have to get a Paypal account to make my payment. I was rather new and had some bad experience so I hope the future new users will not face any issue I faced.

It is not really that hard if you get it throroughly. :))

Firstly. you'll be led to this page once you sign up/sign in to your Paypal account. It will show you a overview of your account balance, previous transactions and all. 

You'll be required to sync one of your bank account/credit card to be the money source. To add your money source, click on Profile and choose your options.

I chose to ADD credit card.

There will be a limit for sending/withdrawal to your Paypal account until you confirmed your card.

Note : an amount of MYR10 will be deducted from your bank account/credit card for verification, but it will be refunded to your Paypal account instead of bank account once your account is verified.

Or you can choose to top up your Paypal account and send money with the credits in your Paypal account. Currently in Malaysia, only RHB has the option of topping up your Paypal account.

If you have a RHB bank account, you can consider this option. (provided you have internet banking)

in RHB, you can choose to send the money to your Paypal account in MYR or USD.

For every top-up in MYR, you'll be charged MYR1.

For every top-up in USD, you'll be charged MYR8.

Note : if you're sending money to a foreign account (non-Malaysian), you'll have to make sure your Paypal account's credit is in USD because MYR is a restricted currency in Paypal and its only available for transaction with Malaysian Paypal accounts.

If you decided that the balance in your Paypal account is too much, you can choose to withdraw it to your bank account too with certain charges with certain amounts.

(refer the table)

For payment, make sure the email address you put is the correct email as Paypal is not in the shoe to refund you your money if you send it to the wrong account.

Note that if you're sending money in foreign currency, they'll update you the exchange rate in your own currency to let you know how much you're actually paying.

Lastly, they'll confirm with you your payment method before sending your payment. 

Once your payment is sent, it cannot be undone! So make sure you check you details properly. Paypal has a fee charged when you use your credit card to make payment and the amount varies with the amount of money you send.

But its free is you pay with your Paypal account's balance. But make sure the credit in your Paypal is in USD if you're sending the money to a foreign account.

Hope this helps. :))

We Love Asia Music Festival

This is quite a late post because the event took place on last week. 

In case if you don't know, this event was a two-day event happening in Sepang F1 Circuit (where GDA happened few days back). I was more than happy to be standing on the same ground GD did few days back. Haha. fangirl syndrome.

For this event, we had to thank ChurpChurp for giving us 4 tickets to the show! To make things better, I actually won 4 tickets and Suzanne won another 4! But I gave mine to Sue Wen as the first day was the same as the Nuffnang Skytrex day. 

p/s : I only attended on Sunday.

So my gig partners were non other than Suzanne, Wiron and Ruby! I gotta say they totally made the night worth it. Frankly speaking, non of us were those hardcore clubbers. So the music and everything was not really our type. The three of them went on Saturday and the event was more than only music festival.

They have game stalls set up for all the attendees to have fun. And heck, lots of freebies were given out too. Among them were t-shirts, light rings, lighter, free food tasting, pendrives and handprint pictures.

We actually got tossed into the water just to win the shirts! Thank god make up was light that night.

the shirt lights up with the beat of the music!

The atmosphere for the whole night was really high as people are just dancing everywhere to the music blown out by the DJ on stage. A lot of people were smoking too which make it highly uncomfortable. I was not surprised to see many young girls smoking. But it was really a sore to the eye. 

We actually got a special backstage pass from the party rock crew people and we were at the backstage throughout Redfoo's performance. It was really random but we actually got free boozes and real upclose with the party rock crew! :D

Did I mention Redfoo asked everyone to put their middle fingers up and he took off his pants during Sexy and I Know It performance! CRAZYYYYY

xoxo

If you love clubbing, I got to say you missed a lot of fun that night! Thanks again to ChurpChurp for bringing us to such a great event. :))

Semester break has been awesome so far xD

Review : Skytrex.

Three days after coming back from Penang, I made my way to Bukit Cahaya for a getaway with Skytrex! So much thanks to Nuffnang for having me there. :)

Well, this is not my first time going for Skytrex. I went once few years back with my EXCOs and we went for the Big Thrill Challenge. This time, I tried the Extreme Challenge instead :))

To be honest, Extreme Challenge isn't too different from Big Thrill. It's just that Extreme Challenge has higher heights and more number of obstacles. Personally, I prefer Big Thrill over Extreme Challenge because I find the ending of Big Thrill is slightly more dramatic (where u end with flying fox) while the ending for Extreme Challenge is a bit.. meh. Maybe I'm a tad bit more extreme, so I expected more.

If you are an adventurous person, I strongly suggest that you go for Extreme Challenge! Climbing upwards to the height is no joke! It wears you out, in a good way :) And no, fear of height is not a problem because when you're up there, all you focus on is on the obstacles instead of the height. 

I was thankful for the weather that day. No sunblock needed at all. :) 

chilling with fellow bloggers before the challenge.

Nuffnangers with Nuffies :)

Before we start the challenge, we were briefed by very experienced instructors there about what we were about to go through. Everything was explained in detail and the instructors were all friendly. Gloves and water are strongly recommended for Big Thrill and Extreme Challenge. Fret not if you do not have them. They are selling it at RM3 per pair and renting a bottle holder for RM1.

Briefing.

the Extreme Challengers, ready to roll!

Another briefing on the tools and demo session before we get started.

And thus, we started with our challenge and I was among the first few that went in. One person is allowed to do each obstacle at a time and three person maximum is allowed on platform. So if one person got stuck, everyone at the back will be stalled too. If you don't like waiting, don't go with a gang of unfit people. Haha *no offence*

I was only smiling because of the camera. 

Was pretty serious clearing the obtacles..

LAST OBSTACLE - The Tarzan Swing!

In the end, we were presented with certificates by the Skytrex team.

So grateful to have kehpoh there with me! :)

She did the Big Thrill!

GDA 2013 cum Semester break.

Annyeong guys! 

sorry for the bad quality photo.

My phone got stolen and I desperately used webcam to take the shot above .__.

A good news to you guys. I think my blogging addiction is back.

I've been wanting to blog for few days but I was too busy with my revision. Now that I'm here, means my final is over and HELLO 1 MONTH HOLIDAY! Hopefully I can update my blog more frequently during the semester break because I have so many happenings waiting for me! xD

Don't really wanna talk about the exams and how it goes. Result will speak for itself. So let's not stress ourself now worrying about the result first and enjoy holiday! I'll be back in Klang Valley from tomorrow onwards. The feeling of going home is the best! Home is where the heart is. So trueeeee. Honestly, Penang is not a bad place. Its just that Klang Valley happens to be better. :) 

I miss home. I miss my parents. I miss my siblings. I miss my chingus. And I miss all the dwaejigogi!

Frankly, my final exam cockblocked so many events happening this month! :( I was really sad especially when G-Dragon is coming for GDA happening in Sepang on 16th Jan (which is today) and I'm stranded all the way in Penang! Despaired.

The urge of buying a tix immediately and fly back to KL was so strong thanks to all the live update from Sepang! Ugh. But it will be crazy right for me to do that, so I calmed my tits and followed ALL the updates via Twitter. I was supposed to go jogging but I ended up not going and chose to follow all the updates instead-.- #LifeOfAFatty

Thank god for Twitter, I was well updated about the whole event the whole time :)

Thanks to everyone who was live-tweeting from the scene!

And and, GD changed his hair colour again! From black and pink to black and white! Cruella DeVill inspired? :/ Some VIP was really creative because they said it was a representative of panda (you know maknae of BigBang's nickname is Panda right?) 

And so the GRi ship sailed well tonight!

GD walked the red carpet with the newest addition to the YG Family, Lee Hi! Omg, she linked arms with GD!!!! And as you can see in the picture below, GD hold her hand after the media interview too! GD is such a gentleman! She is only 17 years old this year (same age as my bro) but she's is so lucky to be linking arms with the most wanted bad boy already?! Life is a troll. yes, ignore me for being sour. 

But I love Lee Hi okay. I liked her since her time in Kpop Star itself already! The other attendee from the YG Family is Epik High.

Lee Hi and G-Dragon at the red carpet.

Gorgeous gorgeous!

gentleman Ji!

Epik High.

Needless to say, YG Family's performances owned the night! From Lee Hi, to Epik High and lastly G-Dragon! I wasn't there physically but I definitely felt the heat just by reading and looking at pictures updated! Thanks technology for the creation of internet seriously..

YG Family swept a total of 9 awards the night too. 

List of the wins are as below ::

Best Newcomer Award - LeeHi

Digital Bonsang Award - 2NE1

Digital Bonsang Award - Big Bang

Digital Bonsang Award - Psy

Digital Bonsang Award - G-Dragon

MSN International Award - Big Bang

CeCi Popularity Award - G-Dragon

Best Hip Hop Star Award - Epik High 

Song of the Year - Psy

2012 has really been a great year for YG.

Die die also must see GD once since he came to my motherland!

With my semester break, I declare my new year. HAPPY 2013!

Things are just about to get fun ;)

Goodnight guys. 

xoxo
