Enjoying Me Time...
I've been lucky enough to have gotten the chance to lead my life the way I want partially... with a little persuassion and some suggestions from my family and friends about how I should lead my life though...
But recently I have come to realise that the life I am leading is not something I actually really really really want anymore... I still want it but not as badly as Ive wanted it before... why? because sometimes all the work that goes into getting it is not exactly the most enjoyable thing to do... not only is it enjoyable but involves a lot of sacrifices... my happiness and health being some of the things that i have had to sacrifice the pass few years...
So what do I want now? I just want to be able to enjoy the process of getting the life I want...
Starting with enjoying what could be my first and last summer holiday.
Thus, I'm currently in Singapore trying to relax and enjoy my summer as much as possible as I probably won't be able to for the next few years and also cause I haven't acually got a chance to fully enjoy it ... Other than that I also wanted some me time... Away from the daily hassles and stresses of life... Just for a tiny bit :)

Natalie Goes Disneyland
I had fun it brought out the kid inside of me again :) haha... esspecially since my hair has been in a tight bun for the past few days...
the fireworks we're magical and the parade was cool... It made me emotional... the fireworks, background and music was well the reason why...

We went during the Halloween Festivities... so they transformed sleeping beauties castle into a haunted castle....

Romance At Shek O Beach...
I went to the beach yesterday as part of the activities held by the university of Hong Kong for international students... it was an hours journey from the university but worth the bumpy and long ride... I had a lot of fun riding the waves ..
and I have now gained a sudden fetish to learn surfing :) haha i know... so weird right.. natalie surfing? but we'll see... hehe.. we had a bbq buffet on the beach before heading towards the ocean... its a really pretty and romantic beach.. i really enjoyed riding the waves and soaking up the sun... but i may have soaked up too much... i'm now a red cherry tomato...
yes i know i should have put on sun block but you see i woke up late and hence i forgot... silly me... anyway here are some shots... there are more on facebook.. so go and check them out...

Hong Kong So Far
hello :) i don't know if anyone still reads my blog.. but oh well..
hk is really nice so far.. so far my language barrier has only caused me angry screams from the bus drivers and siu pah drivers... it isn't so bad... i'll survive.. i think i'm starting to pick up the language... which is all part of the plan while i'm here... and nope i haven't met any super stars... i've been going to all the places where they normally got to eat but i haven't been fortunate enough to meet any ... but i have three years here so we'll see... haha
the weather here is really hot cause now its summer =.=' but autumn will be coming soon apparently... in hk i have to walk a lot... so i normally come home all sticky and stuff... i guess i didn't feel it back home cause we had cars... here its foot , cab , mtr , siu pah, tram, ferry or bus...
the public transport here is very efficient... so i love it like crazy ... they say 11 mean 11 the bus is coming... the mode of public transportations are also really clean :)... i sat on a double decker bus yesterday to Mong Kok it was damn fun... oh i finally found the toilet restaurant ... where they serve the food in a plate that looks like a toilet bowl... i plan to try it soon...
shopping here is reallly awesome... every High end brand imaginable... and the collections are really nice but the price is damn sexy la.. the shop assistants are really nice and friendly.. although some can be a bit aggressive and continously shove pretty things at your face that you want to buy... but their ok :)... the local shopping scene is also really nice... quality is not bad and its very very cheap... if you know where to go... now there is sales almost everywhere.. at the local brands... the high end brands have just finished their sales.. except chanel... haha
I'm very happy with my life here so far.. although there are some things that i would really like to bring over from kl to here like my bed, family, friends and the ss2 chicken porridge that i have been craving for ever since monday... but going abroad is about learning about yourself.. you either stand tall through it all and come back as a mature and bright individual or you fall victim to certain distractions here and get lost...
whatever may happen i know i'll pull through...
Someone's watching over me...
Ps : photo's are at fb... check them out :)

You Should Have Given It A Chance...
I attended my hku reception/gathering on the 12th of July :)... hehe it was awesome... In a sense that i finally knew other people who were going to the same university as me and also because i met some other people there who are just as enthusiastic as me ... and also cause it gave me a chance to meet other people who share the same dreams and hopes of going there...
i'm so happy that i bumped into nigel who like me saw the ad in the newspaper and immediately took it as a chance to get out of here and to move on with our lives... the best part was that we both got into the same course :) so i found a course mate .. :) hehe... I met other people there too who were really friendly... we all plan to go there together on the same flight and such cause some of us can't speak cantonese well...
I've even met li ling whom knows jc ... and we plan to go on a shopping trip once we hit hk ... and we plan to do all sorts of stuff like hiking and makan makan... ;)...my appetite's back btw cause the doc gave me the green light YAY !!!!! s
despite all that the one thing i really really want to do is to get involved in the community projects done by the university students :) its so cool... i haven't decided but its between going to africa to help build school's or go to india and teach english ... My parents have given me the green light to participate so i just have to figure out which one i want... haha... if i go ghana then i can gazelle's and elephants :) *squels with excitement... if i go india i get to buy an authentic saree ... ok that sounds stupid... but then again i might get my kidney stolen in india... and i love my kidneys x)...
to be honest i'm really excited although the language barrier is going to be a really huge challenge... but i doubt its something that i can't handle... but then again the fact that i can't speak the language is going to make it really exciting in a weird way :).... Nevermind if i'm going down their be others coming with me *Smirks...
ps: i met my buddy she seems really really nice .... and friendly too... and she's going to get me from the airport :)...

A New Buddy
So today i checked my email and my buddy emailed me :P hehe... she lives here in Malaysia too the only difference is that she is doing BBA ... oh well... hehe she sounds nice... i don't know what to reply in that email... haha sorry but this email really excites me cause it just amplifies the fact that this is becoming so real... other than the fact that my mum cries over ice cubes... yes she's emo... now you know why i'm emo too :)...
but either way i have a feeling i'm going to meet her this sunday at the HKU students meeting... where i'll meet all the other HKU students, their alumni and my professors... i'm nervous .. what should i wear ... maybe i'll where a dress... or should i go with my usual slacks... need advice people... lol...
oh i went to sy's farewell at mcd yesterday ... it was fun but sad at the same time... i realised that sy is older than paul not in terms of age but in the sense that i know her longer than paul...
we met in mandarin class when we were like 4 or 5 ... we went to the same tadika which was tadika diana, we went to the same primary school which was SK TTDI (1) and then we went to the same high school SMKBUD(4) and then we went to the same college which was Taylor's college and now we're both going to different uni's on different continents... its just sad... but thank goodness for the inventions of modern tech...
love you girl ..

Rehearsals, Two Friends & A Little Red Book

3,4,5
3rd July - i went shopping with paul and met with my schoolmates to celebrate jen ai's birthday... to be honest the day started like a disaster. I was in bud (4) video taping my sisters dance for her to see then i suddenly get this sms from paul telling me that his car dissappeared so we'll have to walk to 1u but he'll have the car for jen ai's bithday celebration... then i was ok with it i needed the exercise anyway.. but hehe my mum came to the rescue and dropped us off yay! i got some of my hk stuff while shopping with paul. its nice to shop with paul cause he makes me think 3 times before buying something...its like ...
nat : i need a scarf to protect myself from the hk winds...
paul : nat... there's a difference between need and want... so which one is it?
nat : *smiles... but its cold....
paul : your not going to the uk you know...
nat : but i'm skinny and tiny... i don't have much fats to help me fight off the cold...
paul : do you want it or need it...
nat : *evil glares....
well its good in a way ... it helps save money.... hehe and besides i like shopping with paul when his being gay ... he gives good opinions :)... i'm going to miss shopping with paul when i go to hong kong...
after shopping we went home and then refreshed and then disaster struck again... paul sms and called me to tell me that his car disaspeared again... this time his dad took it .. and the best part was that he left his wallet and ic in that car... so he can't possibly leave the hse anyway....so me and my white flowy skirt went by ourselves... i arrived late... sorry jen ai ... i had a fun time seeing all of them again :) it was nice catching up we should do it more often...
i don't have pics from that night... will get it from hr soon i guess...
4th July - hehe i woke up early and went to petaling street :)... one of my fav places to just walk around and look at stuff... i don't know why maybe cause its like one of the closest things to cha chu chat in bangkok ... anyway i was there shopping for my sisters dance costume for talent night... which i'm actually rather looking forward to cause this will be the first time i'm actually sitting down and watching the show... finally right? the only thing i couldn't stand was the sun... haha.... and i couldn't stand checking whether her costumes were in proper condition or not cause after a while i started feeling dizzy.. it was so shinny x)...
after that we went to brickfields to get more stuff for the costumes ... it was so cool... i like the indian/hippie vibe that i was getting from the street and its people... maybe ben's right.. i have a little tree hugger manifesting inside of me or something... i felt so indian in that street especially when we reached bombay point... i wanted to buy the indian earrings cause they looked so classy ... but then i was like i'm going to spend money soon at night ... nvm bombay point will always be there... maybe i'll go there before i go hong kong...
in the evening i invited some human's over for swimming and dinner... but there were many humans who couldn't make it... but either way i was nice to just relax in the water and let everything sink to the bottom... while your eyes are looking at the sky while imagining the possibilities of the future... dinner was fun we went to ming tien ...
haha i went all the way to tj's house which was in klang to play jim rummy :)... lyn was right it is addictive ... and klang air is so hazy... its like smoking without the cigratte... haha i'm not good at jim rummy cause my tiles were sucky but i had fun... haha.. :)... i came home later than usual but it didn't bother me or anyone else.. yes there were calls from parents but thats normal.. i'm a girl ... :) and i love being a girl... i can get away with almost anything well more than the amount of things boys can get away with...
5th July - CHEER 2009... lol BLITZERZ won champion ... they totally kicked ass ... the difference between first place and first runner up was 39 points... way kicking cheerleading ass if you asked me... hehe... it was fun i went with yl, max, lw, sy and brandon... and my sister... it was a really tight competition this year... you could feel the tension in the air... but sad to say there wasn't much hype about it for some reason.. the energy levels were down... but the usual senior teams such as dynamites, shirtliff , xavier and etc... put up a really good show to watch... i'm addicted to basky's now... i feel like youtubing to help my addiction... but i can seriously say that BLITZERZ did a really good job :) i liked the routine.. the music and choreography complimented each other very well...
in between i saw some familiar faces like jasmine, ben, justin, philip , arnold, mei li and jen ai... it was nice to see jasmine whose yl's cousin... she looks very fair and white now... i don't know why but for some reason everyone who came back from australia looks whiter... must be the air there or something... right now i need australian air and brazillian food or water or something... brazillian bods are HOT ... look at gisele...
after the whole cheer thing was over we decided to have dinner as yl wanted to eat dinner with jasmine.. so we went to ikea and had meat balls :)... the conversation we had was so nostalgic... we talked about all the stuff we did when we were in high school... it was so fun .. and then for some reason we talked about yl's wedding plans and her 'J' crushes... haha max had a glimpse of it...
speaking of max... max sorry for mixing your name up with marcus.. it was an accident... :D... hehe ...
it was a nice weekend overall... eventhough there were many days where i had to wake up early and such...

The Golden Globes
its award season :)... time to check out what everyone's wearing hehe... winning is kind of important too don't get me wrong but isn't the process more important... anyways here are my picks on the top 5 best dressed... its just my opinion... you can disagree with me if you want...
Anne Hathaway
I love this dress. the colour brings out her pale skin tone and those red lips just pop for me. i love the fact that they added designs on the top and left the botton plain cause if they didn't it would be a little too much isn't it....Kate Beckinsale
this dress is so fitting on her body and it makes her look great. the top of the dress reminds me of flower petals. Calla lilies...love the bottom too....
Eva Longaria
This girl can really dress up :) i like her.. she can carry any colour imaginable and majority of the time she wears latin designers... i love the corset top and i love the fact that she didn't pair it with gold accessories if not that would have been very boring... go red and silver !
Evan Rachel Wood
I'm normally not a big fan of ruffles but this girl has totally changed my mind... love the earrings too... :)
Elizabeth Banks
She may be modeling the most popular shade of the evening, but she sets herself apart by slipping on a gorgeous, Grace Kelly-glam version of the neutral trend. The shapely actress gets nearly everything right with her daintily ruffled, cap-sleeved J. Mendel gown and her flipped-back, clipped-back throwback of a bob. Her only misstep: That honking diamond necklace, which clashes -- as much as copious amounts of precious stones can clash -- with her pretty couture.
To see the worst dressed please go on over to my sisters blog :) ... bye for now

Eventful Days...
Saturday was so nerve wrecking ... i wish i could control my nerves but i had a lot riding on my shoulders during that time and you know me... i want this so bad that I'll give away my sports car (if i had one) just to be able to get into that university... i want this so bad.. i want to go there.. I've always loved that country that place .. and besides the university looks so nice and its very very established.. were talking about a 100 year old university by 2011... i want this so bad.. i hope they give this to me.. i cannot say anything else except i want this so bad...
