I'm feeling so frustrated!

Something is bugging me deep down inside and whats bugging me more is the fact that I don't know what that "thing" is.

A lil bit about my new layout, my bored life, & LCW on getting the silver medal

mmm I'm feeling all bored and lonely. It's not like i have nothing better to do, in fact i have so much of other more important things to attend to but i'm just so lazy. feeling lethargic. Lets hope this feeling is not permanent. *squints*

well, at least i took the effort to do up my dead blog a lil. hee hee hee.

Don't you just love my new header?? lol.


updated those linkies too....decided to remove those picture links just because. *sticks tongue out at whoever protesting* heehee. nah i just thought it was too fancy and it has been there for so longgg....kontradikcion's layout will now head towards more minimalistic designs. hee. because they don't make my comp turn slow-mo when I'm working on em.

got so much to update about. aih. when will i ever find the time and RAM to edit and upload those pictures??

i have a need. a need for speed.




in other words, i need a new comp.

random: bah i went to fill up my tank yesterwastheday but petrol prices reduced a lillll toistheday. grr. own money summore.

I'm bored. lets talk. I'll start


hi, i'm teh, michelle teh. I like being random and anything ol skool. I have a pair of scissors and some pink ribbon in front of me now. I have big feet and thus trouble finding shoes i love in Malaysia. I love listening to stories of all kind. I also think hairstylists should buck up on their skills for blow drying curls because i added 5 bucks extra to my hair wash the other day for curls that couldn't even last a few measly hours. I have too many embarrassing stories in my life that only a few significant know of. I just spent 5 secs putting my hair up in a bun before typing this line. my stomach is aching a lil, as usual. I should probably add a few pictures in this post. hmm.

ooo so many ppl...whats up whats up?

*looks down*
some maxis event, doesn't look very exciting..

ooooo watching something off the big screen isit...

they were all supporting Lee Chong Wei in the Semi Finals!

there were cheers everytime he scored! and boooooos everytime the opponent scored. lol!


Malaysia Boleh.............tahan! Still very proud that he at least got us a silver.

okie. time for snoozieland where ponies and marshmallows are supposed to be floating around pink cotton candy that resemble clouds in the sky. hmm. I'll go find my marshmallow now. *bites marshmallow*

goodnight.

wahahahah!! hari in dalam sejarah!

omg cannot stop laughing now! Feeling soooooooooooooooooooo much better from reading an email from someone!

Lets just say this person pointed out something we have OBVIOUSLY noticed! but it just feels so much better that a third person is the one pointing it out you know you know? *rolls on floor laughing*

That is why....let the middle people judge. *flips hair*

btw i'd love to quote a few people

its a planned coincidence (Ong, 2008)

Just letting my thoughts flow....

Woot!

The first part of my thesis is over, and i'm still alive :D

I shall reveal the title of my thesis so that readers who have been following on how i rant about procrastinating can have a good laugh....


my thesis area title is.........

The Effects of Stress on Decision Making Process

lalalala all together laugh :p

hehehe the more specific title i initially wanted to focus on was

perceived stress, social support and decision making styles

but then i had some problems with getting journals to back up my points so.....i changed the title to be even more focused...

perceived stress, social support and procrastination


and then again, i felt that the journals available in that field was so dry! so....within the last 48 hours before my thesis due date....i changed again.......

to..
Perceived stress, social support and subjective well-being.


and as per usual, finished up my 6601 word paper the night before it was due.



Imma Champion! *beams* Just pray that my results won't suck too badly...


*****

Today was such a tiring day can? Last night was so fun spending time with baybeeee after so long because of stupid thesis...sigh....magnum&shandy@12....miss it so much...even though it was just one of the many simple days we spent together :)

Anyway,

Damn tiring can? walked so much today and i was craving for coconut water! I still got no coconut till the end of the day...ish...cannot...tmr must get! but tmr will be spent in another mall and malls normally have shortage of coconuts...except those canned up ones. Has anyone ever tasted those canned coconut water? I wonder how they'd taste...let me know if you're kind enough to be my lab rat.

Tmr will be spent exercising my vocal cords *flips hair* I just told tiffany over the phone that i used to sing in a choir and she gave me the loudest HARHHhh?? HMPH! what so weird about that? i used to sing quite a bit even though i might not be that good in it. I want to practice more...so can duet with my rockstar baybee LOL...tak tau malu...ehehe...btw have you heard of his songs?

"Escape Euphoria" and now the latest hot stuff "Beyond the Storm"? Have you? Have you? What??? you haven't?

I'd highly recommend the first song for spa/massage use and the second for exercising/dancing purposes.

Both very unique in their own way and very addictive to the ears.

*clickety click*
The Gyre Motion
The Gyre Motion

He spent so much time recording these two tunes...i was there with him when he recorded like a few seconds of the second song and boy it takes so much of passion and patience and talent to get all the layers of tune sounding this beautiful. I'm proud of my rockstar i know you can tell. :)

wee.

wee again.

wee for the third time. third time's a charm.

Now everyone will get a good night's sleep and tmr we'll all get pretty bright smiles on our faces when we wake up to the very hot weather of Malaysia.

weeeeeee


btw I dunno if you'll ever read this but to axabyzura my highschool babe.....

Happy 21st Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*overload of hugs and squeezes*

the last hours

With reference to DIE or No DIE!?!

I'm still very much alive thank you.

SEMANGAT SEMANGAT SEMANGAT COME ON!!!!

note to self: everyone's wishing you good luck weih, even your customers ok! please buck up!

But you better not depend on LUCK so much because you know you gotta do what you gotta do michelle teh zhu-yenn! *smacks self*



Why do i deserve slapping?

Because instead of finishing up my thesis. which is due in a few more hours...

I spent my time watching movies the last three days. Crazy and i deserve slapping i know.

I watched this Stephen Chow & Leslie Cheung old comedy TWICE


Watched Leslie Cheung's Last movie on earth ONCE


Watched Evan Almighty TWICE


Watched Wanted TWICE

so that makes 7 movies. har har har har.

***

I've been camping out @ my hall the whole week and haven't been sleeping on me bed. I slept on the couch whenever i couldn't tahan being awake and thanks to my optical mouse + Keyboard...

I adjusted my 22 inch monitor's resolution, enlarged the font sizes, Lay on me couch and used my keyboard + Mouse from my couch that's like 4 meters away from the comp the whole week!

So lazy i know! i might take a picture of how lazy i look when doing my dreadful thesis.

Daddy's comment : Lucky we got the bigger screen right? I've never seen anyone using a comp THIS lazy.


***

I gotta say this, I realised listening to songs of a foreign language would work best when doing assignments. because when i'm listening to songs of languages that i understand, i tend to sing along and feel the lyrics...trying to decipher the lines and hidden meanings behind some of the songs and hence making me lose focus when doing my work.

This however, never happens when im listening to songs of languages that i don't understand because i just simply do not understand and won't bother deciphering the meanings behind their lyrics!

I listen to songs with good lyrics and i take effort to find out the meaning behind lyrics when i like a particular song. So yea, its Spanish spree for me now! Camila Camila Camila! eeks!



SHIT! I'm running outta time! but this limited time is whats fueling my semangat to ta pao this paper! slap me slap me! i had a whole month free to work on this paper.



I'm just kidding don't slap me, my baybee might bash u up hohohoho!
(sayang me baybeeeeeee...*kelian* o.o)


btw i'm gonna shamelessly promote phasionology again because we have got Pastel Tunics in store! Woot! so sweet can! only left with two pieces now hohohoho business doing good ;)

ps. my gmail notifier just indicated i have a post-it submission...wooooo

Phasionology

I've jumped on the bandwagon. Which one?

Not alone though, I'm a collectivist :) ....which one?

Its with 3 of my closest Uni buddies ..........you still haven't told us which bandwagon!?!

*click*

Yes, this type.

The online boutique type. :D

We're barely a week old and the support from phasionistas out there, i gotta say....is overwhelming! We've got lovely fashion blog reviewers featuring our goodies + increasing our traffic (so thankful for them) and wonderful clients who are so eager to bank in their moolah to us. so cute

Do check it out as we're planning to bring in ALOT more Phasionable Goodies.

You must be thinking whats wrong with my spelling right?

Phasionology = fashion +ology spelled with a PH

why PH? cos its just more interesting and we strive to be unique in our own way, starting with the name first yea?

There are hundreds more of online boutiques out there and the stuff they carry are awesome too! Check them out through these famous fashion blogs that reviewed our stuff Compulsively addicted, Diary of an e-shopaholic and My Basic Fashion Folder.

It will be an eye-opening experience to those who are not used to shopping online in Malaysia :)

ps. to you, my dear friend who also owns a boutique *winks* you know who you are! Lets work hard together! bring in more awesome stuff k! and don't be so stressed! *hugs* allow la commenting on your blog ish!

Photobucket
This was when i had my eyelash extensions, about a month after it.

Photobucket
This was when baybee asked me to drink water :)


why is it i don't do stuff like these anymore?

I've changed...sigh. sigh. sigh.

i used to be more carefree and random.


no wonder people don't read kontradikcion anymore, last time they can stare at my self absorbed pictures and laugh at me, bitch about me and talk about how much of a poser i am.

Just another one of those days where idiots decide to leave their houses to annoy others.

Dum dee dum.

I can say that I never fail to be amazed by anything and everything around me every moment of being alive in this world.

I'm amazed by the pretty little things i see in a garden.
I'm amazed by the prettydamnawesome thoughts of others through their blogs.
I'm amazed by how certain people just seem to have everything in life.

I'm truly amazed, and thats the good kinda amazed.

On the contrary, there are ugly things that never fail to amaze me as well.

For example, a so called friend stealing your ideas. I'm thinking whether or not these people would be interested in stealing my names for my future babies. Just imagine the situation.

Hypothetical situation

Joyce & Katherine: michelle! what are you gonna name your child?!
michelle : hmmmmm *rubs pregnant tummy* haha i think imma name my baby girl penelope :)

copycat: *secretly in heart* SHITTtt penelope is such a beautiful name! I better name my child that before her child is born!

a few months later

copycat: look at my baby! *cuddles infant*
michelle: oh! cute girl, whats her name?
copycat: haha i was thinking do you think we should dine here or there instead?
michelle: huh? whats her name?
copycat: hmmm...okay i've decided lets go there
michelle: caught a glimpse of copycats phone wallpaper displaying her child names that spells penelope.
michelle : what the heck? *continues rubbing pregnant tummy* such an idiot.

damn wth right?

imagine yeah few years down the line michelle brushes away all the grudges against copycat because she found a prettier name for her child - Dorothy.

michelle: dresses dorothy with pigtails and buys her a really unique pair of shoes
copycat: *secretly in heart* omG those shoes are so cute im so getting them for my penelope!

and then

copycat goes around flaunting her penelope's new shoes.

copycat: Just look at them!!!!!!!! I'm like such a genius right?

Well.

Like what I've said before I would give credit to those who are copycats of my ideas mainly because they know who to follow. so arrogant haha.

how bout a round of applause for them shall we?
standing ovation?
cos you put on quite a show
really had me going
now its time to go
curtains finally closing
that was quite a show
very entertaining


.....................................................hey everything is just starting to sound so familiar


Rightttt they're lyrics from Rihanna's take a bow.


wow i never knew the song could be used to communicate to people in this context! i thought its for cheaters only but it kinda reflects what i'm thinking! so cool!

Yeah so back to the losers, wait i mean copycats.

They are not losers, in fact they are winners.

Winners of awards such as "most original individual in the world"

or titles such as

"My-identity-belongs-to-someone else-this-is-as-original-as-i-can-get"

Hey readers, where are your rounds of applause?? come on! They deserve it for putting in so much effort to plagiarize and trying to pull if off as their own original ideas. Hey, I'm sure it should be a very hard thing to do because

PEOPLE NOTICE no matter how hard they try to disguise it.

especially mutual friends, like Joyce & Katherine

continuing the story

joyce to copycat: Huh? penelope? wasn't that what michelle wanted to name her daughter?
copycat: meow~

Katherine: aren't those the shoes that michelle got for her daughter Dorothy?
copycat: meow~ *starts licking private parts*


So obscene right? What the copycat did, literally and hypothetically. I know. you know. we all know.


Who else are you trying to bluff? or rather, who else could you bluff?

Not even yourself.

So don't be telling others you were actually trying to reach for the crumbs of your last meal thats stuck in between your legs when you were licking your privates

Copycat: Meowww~

(readers, take it easy on the cat k thats the best line it could say)


I'm not just kinda disgusted. I'm very disgusted.


i really dislike cats, what more those who copy.
