It's 04.15 AM, it's cold, and it's lonesome. I miss knowing breakfast is with you, I just miss you. You're my Carl & I'm your Ellie. Hugs & Kisses, Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

Me: I'm scared people will draw on my boobs. Cindy: Hmmm. Me: Unless I ask them to draw on my sleeves? Cindy: I KNOW. Let us all draw on both sides of our boobs first!!!!! Then they can see it's full!!! Me: *Laughs like mad* That's actually not a bad idea! It turned out we really drew on each other's boobs first :) Last Friday night was my second pub crawl here in Adelaide. Left our place at about 8ish, and reached city at about 9pm. Soon as we reached the city, as usual we hung around Hungry Jacks to get some awesome chicken wrap for dinner and ice-creams before we join the crowd in this pub called Austral... ...only to find out that the crowd was MASSIVE ! Stood outside for a good 10minutes not knowing what was going on inside the pub. Turns out the pub was too full to acommodate the last crowd. Hmmmm. When I saw from the event page that people writes down the strangest and funniest of comments, I didn't really took it seriously - thought people were just going to...

I've only started watching Gossip Girl (how late yes) when I came here, and as much as I dislike the whole high school drama, the gorgeous high school cast becomes the ultimate drive. To those who watches this show, I know you know what I mean. The drama gets repetitive yes, the usual partners swap makes it tiring either but nonetheless Chace Crawford (the soon to be the new Footloose star) is a piece of meat. I am utterly infatuated by this boy, if given a chance to list all those superficial gorgeousness about this boy, I would! So while we leave the teenage gawking for the show, I told my boyfriend about my latest celebrity crush ('cause thats we do) among others e.g Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper. And he told me he adored the other star as well, Leighton Meester among other millions of his celebrity crushes - that boy has plenty (ohh don't be shy sweetie)! So while you're out wondering what shows to follow or which celebrities to adore next, since we have gotten o...

The last time I was in KK, I saw tons of magazines and newspapers on my bedroom floor. So I asked my sister what's the newspaper cuttings for and she said, "They're not mine. Mummy has been doing some paper cuttings early in the morning or late at night. When I ask her why, she never tell me, so I tida peduli lah" "Huh? So weird" Okay so when I went back KL, I completely forgot about my mum's weird 'newspaper cuttings' until I reached home few nights ago. This is what I saw; Isn't she the most adorable mom ever? She made this cardboard cutting for my sister as encouragement for her SPM. I teared almost immediately after looking at the cardboard and tried really hard to hide my tears from my sister. I straight away went up to my mum and hugged her eventhough she was already fast asleep. My poor beautiful mum. Happy father's day mummy! Yes, I celebrate Father's Day with my mum 'cause she plays both the roles :) Here is my sister...

Listening to - Kanye West Love Lockdown Currently, I have 3 things on my mind: 1. Jason Mraz 2. Jason Mraz's concert 3. Sweets' deadly fiery jealousy of my much attention to Jason Mraz! Sweets: Why can't you show this much excitement when it comes to me, like for Jason Mraz?!?! Eeeeesssssh! *frowns* Omg, but you gotta love this baby. He's been like the sweetest creature I've ever met on earth! Whenever he's angry he keeps quiet, just like a little girl. When he's jealous just like in this situation, he makes what I call the 'babun' face or the long face in English, and widens his eyes for attention. Super cute! Courtesy of Denise's picture :) That aside, it's time for real writing. I'm diverting my attention to a couple of few things; a) I will only let you know when it finally happen, and b) sweets' football tournament. After missing lots of matches, I finally decided to watch sweets in his tournament this Friday. Before you give me...

Listening to Leonard Cohen - Suzanne I'm feeling abit melancholy at the moment, hence the music selection. My honey is an hour away from me, cousins reaching late, family - ah, I don't even know how to describe how much I've missed the giggles, and dimples carved on my beautiful sister's face everytime I grab her boobs. Yes, I do that only, only to see her laugh. As you can see from the picture, I have a temporary tattoo on my left ankle which I weally like. My sister and I did the temporary tattoo about a week ago and it only costed RM6 each. It's pretty isn't it :) Give us a break, we were on holiday! She was quite worried of getting caught (since she's a prefect) in school, but I think by now the temporary tattoo would be washed off. She's so adorable! Okay I just had a lightbulb moment - why do they call the prefects, prefects? Does the word prefect resemble, perfects - therefore, the prefects are supposedly to be perfect in all way? Quite the dumb b...

After almost a year spending most of our time leisuring around, catching up movies and millions of memorable conversations, Daren and I decided to trace back to planned dates. Weeks back, he formally asked me out on a date (believe me, it was seriously sweet!), in addition nothing comes from my pocket nor from my mouth. All I had to do was to enjoy the beautiful day he prepared for me. And boy it was so perfect, I was praying every second for it not to end. The day started normal with our classes and lunches. Yesterday we went to MidValley together so that he can get tickets for - what he lied to me as to get the 'Meet Dave' tickets. I wasn't particularly excited to watch any spaceship, what more Eddie Murphy in it, but because he looked so genuinely sincere - I jumped to my feet and got very, very excited for date! When we entered the cinema, he brought me to the last row, apparently 'twas the couples' seat! I immediately pushed up the hand-rest that divides me and...

My class ended early today, and I waited for sweets for about an hour or so to eat lunch with him. He went in to class after that, and I went back to my friends, loitering around, thinking hard how to escape the heat. I could think of only two places. Both shall be crowded, and both shall have its own places and minds for entertainment. Yeah, right. Who am I kidding? I knew which one I wanted to go all along and all I had to do is admit. The library. *thunderstorm sounds* I have one unfinished book. Is this a reminder, or a reinforcer? I decided to look around the one corner I'm supposedly to be banned from if not, I would probably grab some random books, just because I feel assured when I do so. So I took, The Chocolate Run , which so far managed to make me continue till the 20th page. This is good. I have about millions other academic readings to do, and here I am browsing for some 'sweet' book. There's something about today that dragged me out-of-sleep not becaus...

I remember reaching KL 2 years ago, with world's biggest excitement and spirit in me. I've always wanted to study somewhere further than my hometown, reason being, to learn more about this part of the world that I belonged to but never get to know, widen my scope of friends, and definitely, pursuing what I love. When I first saw Redzuan Condominium, I was of course in an alienated mode, noticing the different colours and races I get to live with. I had mixed feelings. I was scared, but mostly excited. The day I get to experience something like this, like in the movies, finally came. Mum blessed this head of mine, and told me to take care. So I did . My roomates were two other chinese girls who were very friendly and helpful to me. They get me familiarize with what campus life was like, and most importantly welcomed me. I was satisfied with my roomates. In time, I changed roomates after roomates, housemates after housemates, and realized, people usually... goes back to their co...

Amy Winehouse- Tears dry own their own "I don't know why I got so attached..."- Winehouse I'm angry at myself. It sucks to be a woman. Not a girl, a woman . I bid in awe the man who invented the term white lies, as it is, clearly, a remakable talent to define it as 'lying-for-your-own-ass-for-your-own-good'. Rite . Experienced with white lies too many, I'm numb with it. and I bet we all are. I'm currently filled with alot of emotions. But then again, I am a woman. This is this, that is that, no means no, yes means yes. Goodness me, why can't I be more, like most men, maybe? Who would take things as it is, and best of all, blardy lives for the present. I am a self-centred, concerned, manipulative 50 year old mother stucked, in a 19 year old's body. I should just live and let live, and ignore the future. I could smell it . I could hear people talking, yet, I wake up the very next morning, in defiance of my endless thoughts. We're all grown...

India Arie-Purify Me I studied the whole weekend so don't give me that look. I got bored, and hungry, so I decided to blog. I'm laughing my brains out watching Ty Barnett on youtube, and man that guy got some serious jokes. You guys should really check him out. Like, seriously. My brother came over for the weekend, with iPod touch in his hand, which yes, I was in a caveman mode playing with it when he shoved it to me. These canggih things are way too cool for me- by the time I know how to use it, it sure will be outdated already. Knowing that Man U vs Chelsea will play at 7.30pm last night, I reminded my brother about it, being the sweet guy he is, he told me it's okay that he'll miss the first few minutes of the game to teman me for dinner. So I separated with him after reaching MidValley, couple of minutes later I saw a familiar guy standing witha bunch of other men outside Chillis completely ignorant of the world around them, got their senses locked to the TV ...

Yup, this was the reason we missed Shaneil's celebration and catching up with Carol babe. My poor baby got his shoulder dislocated. Again. This was his third time, and was the most painful according to him. We were in the bus when it happened, and I swear to God, I was very close in tearing right infront of him, but couldn't because I know, it would not help the situation AT ALL. So I toughen up, and completely ignored the world, and focused only on him at that time. Sorry to everyone for not being able to msg and explain to you guys about it, as I was too busy taking care of him for his x-rays 'till he reached his ward. We had a difficult dinner and I couldn't really sleep at night thinking how he's doing in the hospital alone, in the night. I mean yes, he is a big boy, but he's my big boy now, and I will always be on the lookout for him. I spent the entire day and night with him in the hospital, and was trying my best to make sure we would have fun with of...

Assuming that all of the pictures below got the word Jacqkie's on it (copyright reasons), I think ya'll can tell where I was the whole week I went MIA. Going back hometown, never felt this good. Seriously. The fact that everyone was there and that everyone was in their joyous of mood for one of our loved cousin is now a Puan, everything went well. Congratulations Kakak Milla! :) Playing cards together among us cousins (last was about 10 years ago?) was so much fun! Time passed so fast that we forgot we were already playing for hours, and hours. Honestly speaking, I couldn't have ask for more in a trip-back home than that. I enjoyed the company of them little rascals (which somehow or rather seemed to grow faster by the month! what the,), and of course I very much enjoyed the food, there in KK. The lovely couple, Karmilla & Zain. Bella (the sweet one), Fiqa (the devil in disguise), & Mira (the smart one) The bugger love kids as much as I do, but apparently, the ki...

It started off with the Bazaar that proPassion Communications did last Tuesday and Wednesday. I swear to God, everyone did so awesome; everyone should be given a sponsored whole body massage. Seriously! This is what I had to do for two days: “Hey, have you heard about proPassion Communications?” “….????”(I DON’T GIVE A F*CK I JUST WANT TO LOOK AROUND FACE) “Okay! Now, I’m going to give you a lec…” The guy walks away. I’m beginning to bore my readers with my non-visual aids posts. But what sweets did last Tuesday was too cute it’s a waste not to help you to imagine it. He joined a biting, I repeat, biting - an apple competition, and ended up winning first. I saw the crowd (…err, mine and his friends actually) rooting over him, cursed myself for not being able to join him, overjoyed when saw he won and got scared when heard, he took the competition a little bit too seriously that he swallowed the big-ass apple’s seed as well. “…after I swallowed it kan, then I realized I feel a bit the f...

I can feel my muscles tense-ing now. I can feel the pain of my joints now and I swear to God, strangely, I want to try it again. I cant believe we pay to climb walls. I realized playing with heights have always been expensive, isn't it? Eiffel Tower, Roller Coasters, Rock-Climbing? Honestly, this is my first time ever climbing walls. I mean profesional certified rock climbing as such, because technically, climbing trees and bedroom windows back when I was in the "jungle" in Sabah have never been approved it's safety. *widens eyes* It was sort of a past-time back when I was younger, when congkak and monopoly were getting predictable, I decided to climb trees and I could relate to it . Yes everyone, I used to climb trees with my brother when I was still "small" (ehem) and God-knows-how-kids-can-be-so "energetic". I bet even the ants were scared and confused of me, I dont look like monkey but acted like one right. Well, sweets was really cute today. ...

The biggest hypocrite of Valentine's fell madly in love this year. and with that title, my single friends are so going to choke me to death. Honestly, I hate Valentine's. Okay, this statement works only when I'm single and loving it. I used to think that Valentine's is so commercialized (I still do) and the fact that the males (in any type of relationship, err) are the ones that's suppose to "pay" for everything for the day makes it even more, uncertain-whether-I-want-to-celebrate-it kinda thing. My valentine's this year was sweet. But the man I celebrated with was even sweeter . Sorry sweets, but I'll be doing a little bit of free-publicity for you in this post. He didn't reply my msg when I told him I got a meeting at 12PM and when I came out of the class, my friend Shaneil surprised not just Denise, but me, Audrey and Sway as well with a rose. So, I thought that was sweet, when I walked further and saw mine , too. I was shocked (really!), ...

I remember having a fight over CNY and Hari Raya with my brother last year; Me: I'm going to KL this raya. Abang: Stupid. Who goes to KL during the Raya holidays? All the shops are closed. Me: NO . Abang: YEAH. Me: All the shops will be closed during Chinese New Year la arse. Abang: No, during rayalah. All the workers are Malays lah dumbass. Me: All the bosses are Chinese larh arsehole. Awful, no one seem to care about the workers here. Abang: ...Who cares about the bosses?! Me: THE BOSSES CARE ABOUT THE BOSSES THEMSELVES. DUH. And I'm right. I went to the shoplots nearby my place today and I tell you, I can freaking do some breakdance shit there right in the middle of the road. I'm serious. There were too little cars for me to even be afraid of crossing the road already sweets! Even the cats were walking with their clans with their usual worry-free expression. Freaking awesome wei. Anyhoo, my day's much delighted due to the existence of cobblers in Malaysia. I got thre...

Chinese New Year's just few days away, and my skin betrayed me at this perfect time. Pimple-licious? Shit. I really couldnt find no scientific explaination for my over-crowded face. I'm down with tons of work, and I'm still head over heels with the boyfriend. He surprised me today in the morning, saying he wont come to college, when I sat there in Mamak, thinking, roti telur and neslo panas gonna taste just like breakfast today without him. and then the hero came from behind me with that huge smile I love so much on his face. I got so excited and happy, I totally ignored the roti telur and neslo panas served on the table. Honestly, he's a million times more interesting than the food :) Was involved in Pei's birthday party the other night. I helped a bit, and the most I remembered was blowing balloons. and food. and a joker name Alex. and sweets' talent on making mini balloons out of the big one. one thing's kinky for sure, my baby sure can blow too. ...

Somehow or rather I dont want to blog about PD anymore. I lost my thumbdrive, and lost all the pictures I've editted. I have no mood, and I suggest you click on Sway Lai's link if you want to read about PD. I'll blog about something else. These past few weeks have been stressful. From work, to life, to health. *sigh* It's funny how one person can be in the same age as yours, but a million miles away different from your thinking. I just realized what differentiates people is the conscience, not what's spoken, or so thought was spoke of or even the age . A 19 year old like me shouldn't be thinking about life this way, in fact I should just not look at life in general, and just walk blindly on the road with no expectations. It really is always better that way. Less hassle, less complicated. and definitely spontaneous. But, I've thought long and hard about life. About how I wish it wouldn't be so complicated. How I wish I could have just grown like any oth...

This is an inside joke. Now I know who is or even what is Donkey Kong . Promise me you 'll do this act next time okay? It's a Saturday night, and I'm blogging. It's a sin actually to update your blog 3 (freaking-you're-really-lifeless lah -Jacqkie) times in 2 days. I know. Spare the teasing when I see you in college, as I'm freaking excited to meet all my collegemates (most of you rabid readers) again. I miss getting busy at times, but most importantly, I miss those buggers I have to see so often. They always manage to make and ruin my day at the same time. Something really embarassing happened today, thanks to my brother who never learn to call me at least 5 hours before coming to house. My brother met Daren already. Abruptly . Honestly speaking, my brother's the scariest person by far I'd introduce anyone to. He may be one of my nicest man on earth, but he can be judgemental at times, in the name of "being protective". But he didn't ...
