LAST DAY OF 2013. EVER.

So, I just made a status update on facebook, here's what I wrote (for those who are not friends with me on fb lol!) - 

"Another year gone by within the blink of an eye. I can’t say this was the best year because I’m always hoping for better but it definitely wasn't the worst. I've gotten close with new people and drifted apart with some of the old. Thank you to the ones who have stuck by my side, and good luck to the ones who left. As for the new year, I’m not looking to change myself, I just want to better myself. Goodbye 2013, and hello 2014! :)"

And now...
Since it's my blog and I can say whatever I want, with unlimited words lol....
I sincerely hereby, give a SPECIAL THANKYOU to all of youse, my readers out there giving me advices and just being here when I need youse here. I know I have said this so many times but once again.... I really am truly blessed. :') 

Oh! And I'm really glad that most of my girlfriends found their happiness this year, truly a memorable event to see hehe :) I wish the rest of you girls out thereee the same too!

My wishes for you all in year 2014: Great start for January, Love for February, Peace for March, No worries for April, Fun for May, Joy for June to Nov, Happiness for Dec. 

Have a lucky and wonderful 2014! :D

Love,
Velene xoxo

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Life is not as good as people imagine; life is not as bad as people imagine, either.

If you’re able to catch my boyfriend’s attention, you can have him.

I don’t want someone who can be stolen away from me. I want a mature guy who keeps his attention on me and only me. I know he’s gonna come across many pretty girls, but if he truly cared about me, other girls shouldn't even be a problem. A guy who can be easily taken away from me, I don’t want. And if you just so happen to be one of those girls who catches his attention aside from me, you can keep him. I don’t want him. 

It is never too late to fall in love.

I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and love today.

I wish I had that perfect body.

A body I’m confident and proud of.

A heart that loves is always young.

Take Every Risk. Drop Every Fear.

If you’re with someone who’s wanted by many, get used to the fact that there will always be someone waiting to take your place. So treat them right or else all the times you make them cry, someone else will be there to make them smile and laugh. Do your part and treat them how they deserve so no one can have the opportunity to steal your place.

Last Friday of 2013.... say wut.

You are so lucky, because you can choose to love me or not, but myself only have to choose from loving you or loving you more.

Lie to me once.

And I promise you I’ll remember it. I detest liars. I might act like I’m unaware of it, but trust me I’ll remember. Lying to me leaves me pissed off and sad. I over think why you lied. Either you don’t trust me or I’m not worth the truth. So please don’t lie to me.

The road to a lover's house is never long.

HAPPY BOXING DAY EVERYONE! :DD

Precious things are very few in this world. That is the reason there is just one you.

HOHOHOHOHOHO!

.... MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL! :D

And THANKYOU for your wonderful emails, gifts, tumblr wishes and christmas ecards! Love y'all!♥ Hope you all get to enjoy your Christmas to the fullest and celebrate with your dearest and loved ones just like me ^^

It's very easy to hurt someone and then say "sorry", but it's really very difficult to get hurt and say "I'm fine".

WOW. It's CHRISTMAS EVE. ALREADY. :P

DAYUUUUM.

Quote of le day! :D

"Never chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having."

Never apologise when you aren't sorry.

We tend to say sorry for everything.... maybe it's just me and the people around me.... do u?
... Which reminded me of my R.E teacher back in highschool..... :') Whenever someone in the class said sorry, she will always respond, "Don't say sorry. Your not sorry if you don't mean it." haha XD So true, I swear the word "sorry" has become a deep habit in me, and I think literally everyone, that whenever one feels sorry for someone, or accidentally said or did something wrong, the word, "sorry" just popped up without any second thought whatsover. LOL.
It's like when I accidentally trip myself by hitting my leg with the chair *so clumsy I know :P*, I said sorry, then I was like wait a minute, what the shit, why am I saying sorry to a chair?! :S... pretty darn ridiculous I know aye...

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

Confession of the day: Do you ever wonder why we stopped talking?

Because I do. 
The only reasons I can come with are the fact that I’m not worth your time and you found someone better to talk to. I wish people wouldn't drift from me that easily. I want someone who’s willing to stay with me no matter what happens.

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE EVERYONE! :) aka 冬至节快乐!

When you finally get your own happiness, you will understand the previous sadness is kind of treasure, which makes you better to hold and cherish the people you love.

Alohaaaa! :)

Had another mini roadtrip todayaaaa! :)..... but then most of you would have know that... cos I updated my photo status on instagram earlier on LOL :P

So ya, started the day off with yumchaaa at Northbridge Chinese Restaurant :) not as much people as usual... I think it's because of the christmas season... everyone's off to shop-shop-shop!

Afterwards, we headed off to Carmel... :D to go to "Melville Rose Farm & Tea House"/"Rose Heritage Cafe".... yep as the title's obviously stated, it's rose farm♥ Spent majority of the afternoon there, it's just wow. Must go there.... if youse haven't! :D

Below's the pictures! :) *can't really organised the pictures very well... cos well you know it's google blogger... eurghh x.x* Oh and also I took about like 70 pictures in total there... but I'm not gonna post all of them here... cos that's just woah too much :P betchaaa y'all be all sick of roses and flowers if I would had. Enjoy!~

why can't I ever stand straight?! x.x

I AM SO CHUBBY X.X

LOL. This picture's storyline is like -

Me: Oooh let's take a selfie....
Random fly on my wrist: Ooh let's join in this picture x.x haha

After we explored the whole farm, we went back to city and drive around suburbs and stuffs.... then we drove by my ex piano teacher's home, we were like oh we would love to go and say hi to her but we lost her contact and it would be rude to come by before contacting her.... it's like a manner kinda thing according to the parents/society :3 But I was like hell no, I haven't seen her in like 4 years, I'm gonna go straight down, knock on her door and say hi cos I missed her so much♥ Then my 'rents were like ok, you go down by yourself then.. obviously thinking I won't go down... but I actually did! And ya, it turned out amazing! It was so good to see her again and I just literally dragged my parents and my brother outta the car cos she wants to see them also cos she missed them too! She is like legitly the best piano teacher I ever had!♥ It was her that go me so into piano and music and just pretty much everything haha! The reason I started piano was because, you know it's an asian thing to know an instrument. And my first teacher wasn't that great like she went with the proper rule of piano teaching lalala but it was boring, I wasn't attracted to it at the start. Then, this teacher came along. And hell no, she didn't do the rules. That is why I love music juxtaposition... which also explained why one of my favourite subjects back in school was music....! :D haha enough of me rambling on~

To wrap it up, I really feel blessed because I have amazing people surround me all the time, not just in the past but also in the present aka now :) and I'm sure in the future, it will be too♥♥

Then for dinner, we went to Fasta Pasta for pastas *duh* haha :P But they weren't that great... :(

And that's it!

Thanks for reading till here from the top! :D

Cya next time lovelies!

Love,
Velene xoxo

Confession of the day:

There are times when I’m tempted to pick up my phone and hit up all the people I don’t talk to anymore just to let them know I haven’t forgotten about them or to see how they’re doing, but then I do myself a favour and save myself the awkwardness.

BE STRONG now because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever. 

WOW. Today has been somewhat a busy but amazing day! :D I hope you all are well too?

Went to do so much errands and most importantly, accomplished them all too!

Feeling like a lazybum... so I shall dot everything!

So today's schedule was pretty much:

- errands-errands-errands
- lunch at Ikeaaaaa :)
- erands-erands
- went back home to drop some stuffs off
- errands-errands
- finally done!
- mum then was like, "I'm freaking exhausted, ceebs cooking, let's eat dinner outside!" Waited for daddy to finish his work... then off we went!
- and guess where we went?....... FREO aka Fremantle XDD Haven't been there in yonks! So we were really excited to go there to have FISH AND CHUPS ;)
- Obviously, we went to our favourite restaurant of all time - Cicerello's! And we ordered heaps... it was like a feast!
We ordered 2 plates of Traditional Fish and Chips, 2 plates of Crumbed garfish and chips and 2 plates of Deluxe seafood chowder...... we legitly coudn't even finish them.... it was insane... we're so fulll.... and it wasn't even halfway of the plate yet XP so we were like you know what, just eat all the fish and finish the soups then we're all good, just leave those chips behind cos they're carbs and VERY fulling! But bro was like, "nah I'm a man", "I could finish it all" and "I like my chips" blahblahblah... in the end, he actually did! Bravo on him haha! XD
- At the start we were like oh and also get dessert afterwards, that's what we said. But after the "feast", we were like eurghhh can't fit anymore in our stomach, so we got gelato instead and have it while we walk around the scenic nature :DD And the wind was really strong too, thus wasn't able to take a snapshot of our awesome icecreams lmaooo :P
- Pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the beach and boat harbour and took some pictures! Check them out below! :) *in no particular order too XD*

 da so-called deluxe seafood chowder... was so goooood!

 

Hope you enjoy those pictures! :D

PS. I know I'm superrr lame at taking perfect pictures x.x

Moreover, keep your heads up here in these coming few days... more posts like this will be posted.... cos... *drum rolls* roadtrip is coming ahead :D YAY!... especially tomorrow!!

Love,
Velene xoxo

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever. 

Confession: 1 a.m.

I feel paralysed. I feel numb on the outside and numb on the inside. I feel as if my mind has stopped functioning, yet I am still able to think and perceive the way I do. Thoughts are still seeping out from the darkest corners of my mind, but my hearts seems to have bottled so much.
I want to explode. An explosion of a thousand words. A thousand tears. A thousand thoughts. A thousand reasons. I do not deserve this especially being pushed away. Maybe we are just going to be the “used to be’s” or the “maybes.” I am still here reaching out for your touch, but not even a single touch has been felt.
I need closure.

Confession of the day: I hate people who drag others down.

Sure it’s okay to be sad and depressed sometimes, it’s only human. When you go on about how shit your life is and all the problems day after day making people feel sorry for you, pity you, it’s kind of sad.
How selfish can you be, your supposed “friends” have to put up with it, getting out of their own way, to cheer you up. That’s what friends are for right? But you’re an effing face of a friend to be dragging your friends down.
I hate people who don’t get the point, or use their depression as an excuse, how can you accept other peoples pity.
Act as if you’re the only one with problems, going through a hard time. Everyone has their own problems. Not all people are selfish enough to drag others into their own burden.

If you come into my life then I believe you won't leave；but if you leave, I will move on as if you have never been here before.

Let me give you some advice.

Losing your virginity:

Lose it to someone who you truly trust, or someone you completely in love with. If not, then don’t do it or you’ll regret it.

Getting over someone:

1. Cry, but only to a limit.
2. Do not stay home, if you’re home then you’ll most likely be alone. You need to go out with friends or family.
3. Be you, you were fine before that person came along. And you can learn from them, know what not to do for the next. Let you be free for your own self.

Insecurity:

1. Stop giving a fuck about what others think.
2. You have two options if you feel that low of yourself:

• Either you fucking accept your flaws and be proud of them.
• Or you change, not for the acceptance of others but because you feel good about yourself.

Chasing after someone:

If you want to be with them, then show them that they’re worth it and you are too. But first, try being their friend first. But I advise you to do is tell them straight up you like them first but don’t say you want to be in a relationship right away. Try to get to know them first but as a friend, to let them you’re still going to be there as a friend but still let them be attracted to you at the same time. So what I’m basically saying is try to get to know them and let them fall for you without accidentally getting into the friendzone.

Making friends: 

Just be you. Don’t be friends with bitches for the wrong reasons. Just be you and people who truly accept you will befriend you.

Flirting, homewrecking, cheating: 

Do not homewreck someone’s relationship. You will find love in someone who will completely love you back. Don’t wreck another’s love. Cheating, if you want to cheat, then face the consequences. Just stay single if you want to flirt like crazy, don’t hurt someone because of your recklessness. If you flirt, make sure you don’t lead someone on, cause that's a bitch ass move.

Finding someone: 

I know its a bitch waiting, but you’ll find someone, be patient. Don’t get into a relationship because you’re lonely. Just wait and they’ll come.

Too cool for school: 

Trust me, you ain't going to be all that when you flipping burgers at a fast food restaurant.

YOLO: 

You only live once, so take chances. It might gain some or lose some, but at least you tried.
Live a little, take risks.

Yo shit: 

Like the expensive valuables, keep that shit on lock.

Procrastination: 

It’s a bitch. LOL.

"Throughout life, we rely on small groups of people for love, admiration, respect, moral support, and help."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Past.

It strikes up everything. Don’t ever use someone’s past against them. You’re just reminding them of the mistakes they made back then. If you can watch their facial expression carefully, then you’ll see the hurt in their eyes as they reminisce everything that happened. Never use emotion as a weapon, it strikes deeper than you can imagine.

Manners matter. 
Good looks are a bonus. 
Humor is a must.

Different people do the same thing for you, which would make you feel extremely different. Because what you care for is not the thing, but rather for the person who do it. 

It bothers me when my past is brought up in the wrong way.

Especially when no one looks at the things I've done right. Instead, those who don’t know me personally would always use every little dirt they have on me, twist up the facts and make it seem like I’m the only one who’s ever done something wrong. Sure, I've made a couple mistakes here and there but who I am today is built based on past mistakes. If you can’t see through them, it’s your lost.

Don't try to wait after all no one can save a rotten heart.

The feeling you get when you start liking someone.

You get butterflies every time you see him/her, when you’re with him/her you can't stop smiling, and when you get texts from him/her you stop everything you’re doing just to text him/her.

I don't think you know that you are the light of my world and I'm the luckiest person to know you. 

I don’t know why I bother to stick around anymore.

I’m not getting anything out of it and it feels so distant. 
The things you want, I cannot give.
But why am I too scared to walk away?

Fake.

Everyone’s judgmental.
If you’re telling me you’re not, you’re talking shit.
Everyone has their own set of thoughts towards everything. Some choose to speak up, others not as much. I mean what is the issue with speaking what you think? What ever happened to truth is best?
Or shit along the lines of you’d rather have the truth and be hurt than hear a lie that makes you happy?
I’m judgmental? Yeah I am, but I can admit it. You, you and you are all judgmental.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it.” 
The world would be great, wouldn't it? Face the facts. Suck it up. The world will never be like that.
What is the difference between 2 people having the same thoughts - one speaks up but the other one doesn't say anything and is thinking of it? Automatically the one that speaks up is the “judgmental” person and the one that doesn't speak is a nice non-judgmental person?
I’d rather speak up and be who I am, than not say anything and turn around and attack people on anonymous or talking behind someones back.
^To a degree I find these people the biggest of fakes, acting all goodie goodie in front of people so they won’t be judged but in fact they are the worst.

PS. I also had updated my "Me in a nutshell" page! :)
[LINK ME]

People come and go.

In the past.... I've been introduced to new people who came and changed my life. And then, I experience the feeling of being left behind. It’s so normal for me to see people to just leave out of the blue after being so close to them. Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe you’re just bored of me. Either way, it has come to the point that every time someone decides to walk out, it doesn't affect me that much. I’m so used to it that it is even predictable to see when someone is beginning to drift themselves away. 

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO TALK TO ME, THEN TELL ME.

It’ll benefit us both. You won’t get annoyed and I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to talk to someone who doesn't want to talk to me. 

Confession of the day: Why do I like you?

Good question, sadly.. I can't answer that. Why? I have no clue. Maybe its just how you are, your personality, your looks, your vibe, everything about you just makes me smile, and to put it simply, I just fell for you. No reason, just over the simple fact that its fun being with you. I think that’s a good enough reason is it not?

I am responsible for what I say, however I’m not responsible for what you understand.

Natural beauty.

In my opinion, natural beauty is not if someone wears make-up or not. Make-up is a mere accessory and shouldn't accommodate for someone’s beauty. 
Strip a girl of what she wears, her make-up, her looks. And what are you left with? Her mind. Her personality. 
And that is what natural beauty is. The way a girl carries herself, the way she thinks, the way she acts. Anyone can be gorgeous, but if their personality is rude or mean, that person isn't a natural beauty. Just a pretty face. Why is beauty always associated with the way someone looks? Beauty is much deeper than that. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And OMG. I can't believed I missed today's special moment: 11/12/13 14:15:16pm!!! DAYUUUUM. Good revelation though :')

For all of you out there :)

At one point or another, you’ll feel as if you’re not worthy of someone’s time or you’re just simply not good enough, and there are millions of others out there who share the same feelings. Everyone has insecurities, but wasting your time to dwell on the unchangeable won’t change anything. So stop saying sorry for being who you are. If you want others look beyond your flaws, first you have to love and respect yourself.

If we’re meant to be then it doesn't matter how many times we may fall apart and move on, because in the end maybe one day we’ll find our way back to each other.

PS. 3rd post of today... dayuuuum.... imma on da roll... lol jokes.... I felt like this post for some reason.... haizz...

I’m not perfect. Never have been, never will be.

Hey y'all lovelies! :)

How are we all?

So I was thinking, for the rest of these holidays (exclude my getaway) *gonna have to use my brain to think as I don't want my brain to get lazier and laziiierrrr as the day pasts by lol*.....

I will write a personal post or even twice daily if I'm extraa thoughtful that particular day.... It will touch on different kinds of topics, varied, from my insights of certain experiences I had, to something I might be going through at that time.

So ya, all these upcoming personal posts will be labelled as "personal" - for easy future references if any of youse wanna read then.

Hopefully you guys will enjoy reading!

Peace for now!

Love,
Velene xoxo

Psychological fact:

When your mood's not good without any reason, you definitely are missing someone.

too true! x

"If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life, you've got everything!"

When you’re in a relationship,

Don’t forget to be the person you were when they first met you.

Oh and also.... 
Thought I should finally join in the crew of "da-craze-for-kik".... yep... I finally have kik lol :P so that should minimize most questions of "do-you-have-kik/what's-ur-kik"....
SO kik me people - shemelon :D

“It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.” - Oriah Mountain Dreame

“You’re going to discover that conversations are best at 4am. The heavier the eyelids, the sincerer the words. Those are the talks you’ll remember. It’s ok not to know the answer and silence is not awkward. It’s shared, so share it more often than not.” - Jeff Stuckel

---------------------------------------------------------
And another sad news - RIP Nelson Mandela...We lost one of the most influential leaders today. We have the utmost respect for you and applaud the way you did good with you life. And he's definitely one of those people that showed us how much one person can achieve.

The more you care, the more you have to lose and the more your heart breaks when it's over. 

Do not take people's care for granted. No matter how much they love you, people get tired eventually.

Acting as if nothing borne in mind is the best revenge.

It's all for myself to live better.

Maybe the fault does not lie in the way but in the choice. And there is nothing wrong in love, but in destiny.

Suicide.

I have so many messages/asks/emails about suicide/ending your life because of so and so etc.... and I felt like writing this post to dedicate for all you out there....

I’m sure many of us has had the thought of committing suicide. I for one, will admit it’s one of those things that crosses my mind daily. If you’re one of those people who has ever had suicidal thoughts, I just want you to know I’m here for you, I understand you, and most of all, you’re not alone. Everyone has that breaking point in their life and nowadays, it’s extremely hard to find true happiness with the many problems and stress life has thrown at us which blocks our way when we try to search for the key to happiness. It doesn't matter who you are, what race you are or what you’re categorised as, I’m sure you all had one of those days where you feel like nothing but complete emptiness, and you feel as if you’re invaluable and worthless. It’s because we’re human, we were given such complex emotions to differs us from the many other living things on earth. With that said, it’s only normal that even the strongest people have weaknesses. I know how suicide may seem like the perfect answer to some of you, because with death, comes no stress, no problems, and no worries. But I promise you it will the source of problems to many others who are involved in your life, such as your parents, your family, and your friends. You think no one will care, right? That’s where you’re wrong. Your loved ones will be the first to blame themselves when you’re gone, they’ll blame themselves for things that weren't their fault to begin with. I know that times get rough and a lot of bullshit is tearing you apart, but please don’t ever think of ending your life. Instead, think of ways to change your life. I want you to take a moment to reminisce about the good times you've had, think about all the people who are worth living for, and think about how you prove those people who has ever doubted you wrong. I want you to smile like you've never smiled before. I want you to go out and have fun, I want you to live and take risks like the sun won’t raise again tomorrow. I want you to understand you only have one chance at life, and life is fragile, there’s no turning back once you decide to leave the surface of this world. So please, never make permanent decisions when you’re in the extremes of your emotions. Always think twice about your actions and the consequences that comes with your actions. You are loved, and I promise you, things will only get better. Everything in life is temporary, if things are good, enjoy it because it can’t only last forever, and if things are bad, don’t worry because that can’t last forever either. Suicide shouldn't be the solution to your problems. With suicide, you’re only running away from your problems.

WHAT. IT'S 1ST OF DECEMBER. LAST MONTH OF 2013 ALREADY. THAT'S SO QUICK. :P AND THE WEATHER IS PERFECT TOO - AIN'T HOT FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMERRRRR!
