I'm Lost...

I always stop and ponder about my life. To be honest, I'm currently feeling lost. Some days, I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing. I also wonder, how did I end up here and where should I go next. I wish I had someone to talk to about my current issues.

Shopping: Luxury...

God dag til dig,

Yes, like how my kaerlighed always says, "My Baby just loves shopping so much..." So, here is a post about the finer things in life, that I enjoy. Yes, I do enjoy some luxury from time to time. To me, it's investment. finer things. Like, vacations, pampering sessions and of course, shopping.

One of the many new possession of mine will have to be my Ball watch besides my collection of Coach handbags. =) I love it!!

I'm just like my dad. A watch collector. I love his Breitling watch!! I'm eyeing a Longines and also a Tag. Sigh. Anyway, my Ball watch is an auto. That means, I need to shake my wrist alot to keep it alive as it doesn't run on batteries like normal watches. =P That sounded wrong though, "shaking my wrist". LOL.. I think my Ball watch is really classy and macho btw. It also glows brightly in the dark and it can go up to 100m underwater. It can be use for diving. How cool is that?

I'm a Taurus, a born lover for the finer things in life. =)

Mood/Situation: Lost in Translation...

There are times in your life where you don't know where you are at or what to do. It's not easy when you have no one to talk to about it. Both emotionally and physically it will have some sort of affect on you. I've stopped hanging out with friends/people I used to know because they always tends to make things complicated and others, I can't trust at all. I have had friends who back-stabbed me especially girls and I loathe it. I thought girls should always have each others back? I guess I was wrong about this because most/many girls only care about their looks and who have more admirers and so forth. I honestly think it's lame. I know, I don't care about such things. I'm happy that my girl friends look good, I don't hate on them. I guess I'm just very different and like how one of my friends said, "Val, you're just different, you're weird in a good way..." Bottom line is, I hate DRAMAS. 

I honestly don't think I have much issues or anything that I should be worrying too much about but, I think my biggest issue yet is that, I think too much. Especially, at night when it's quiet. Sometimes, because of over thinking and just thoughts swimming/floating around in my head, I can't fall asleep.

As a girl, I have some insecurities from time to time. It's not because I don't have confidence in myself. I have alot of confidence. It's just that I appreciate being assured of certain things from time to time. Time and distance is not a kind friend, I would have to say. Sometimes, especially when I had a rough day or moment, all I really need is a hug and some comfort words.

 Jeg savner dig mig elsker...

Dreams: Owning My Own Property..

I can't wait to own my own crib. I think the fun thing about owning your own place is, the things you get to do with it. I would definitely have a comfortable + cozy + luxury interior design + furnishings. Afterall, I am a Taurus. Luxury is my middle name. =P

Location is kinda important to me as well. Size isn't, atleast for now. I just want a comfortable apartment at a good location + security. I don't mind working on a 850sf Studio. I think I'm going to start looking around for a nice simple place that I can glam up and make it my own little luxury + comfortable place.

I'm proud that my guy has his own place, the place has potential to shine even more. I think the location and neighborhood is decent. Just that we can work on the interior to make it more comfortable with a tint of luxury. I know that when I was there last year, he asked me for some ideas. I think I wasn't sure what he wanted but, I think if he asks me again, I have some pretty good idea. He already have some nice fixtures, it just need a bit more zess. =)

Dream Come True...

I've always wanted a DSLR for a few years now. I finally took the leap in January 2013 and got myself a Nikon D5100. I got influenced by my boyfriend because he say that we can share lens. =) Baby, you better not forget that!! I'll kill you!!

Anyway, I've been taking pics since then. I am loving it!! I prefer the sound of the shutter compared to Canon. It feels more solid too. Just my personal opinion. I'm using the camera strap that I bought for my Canon 350D. It's SO colourful. Love that too!! I feel like getting a pink one that I saw though. Pink is not my favourite colour but it's so bright. Gggggggrrrrrrrrrr.. Yes, my bf will say I'm a shopaholic.

I can't wait to travel with my DSLR at the end of this year. I need to find a good bag for it.

Wish: To Be There Now...

Things haven't been super good nor super bad recently but, all I can really think about is - wanting to be 9,000 over miles away from here. It may be freezing cold, windy, gloomy and everything is priced exuberantly but it's where I really want to be at.

I miss everything about being in this foreign land. I know I was worried and was dreading the 15hrs flight alone just to get there last Winter at the middle of January and early February 2012 but, I would so love to be boarding the plain now and sitting through the 15hrs of flight in a heart beat.

My heart and soul hurts just by looking at pictured of snow covered walkways and people living in this country all geared up in winter wear while here, I'm just in shorts, tank tops and flip flops. Most of my friends or people from Europe think that I'm crazy for wanting to leap over to icy Scandinavia to embrace the cold but, I'm crazy about the country and really, really want to be there.

I haven't stop thinking about the country since I stepped foot into the cabin to fly back to Malaysia last year. I miss everything about the place. Chocolate coated marshmallows, the snow, the blond people, the Viking culture, the museets, the long walks, the grocery shopping and attending CBS.

I have to admit that sometimes I get teary eyed just reminiscing about this lovely country and it's people. I really want to be there so badly it hurts.

You're the reason for this new found love.

POV: Technology in My World...

I'm thankful that technology has evolved over the years. I'm happy that we can stay connected using our cellphones these days. We get to read up on things, chat, read e-mails, Google things and just stay connected to the world.

Plus there's so many useful apps that you can find these days which makes things so convenient.

I'm happy that technology exist. It's when your gadget doesn't work, that's when it's stressful. That's when it really drives you crazy. I hate that. I know mig elsker is facing some issues with his phone as of late. His Whatsapp doesn't work and it's freaking slow at times. I really feel like getting him a new phone. I don't like it when he's down.

Technology helps alot but I still miss how we could live without it all in the past as well. Things definitely was simpler and less complicated and also, we weren't as dependent on it as we are now. Mig elsker always makes fun of me when I complain that the Internet is down in the office. He always says, "Oh No!! Val's life is over because the Internet is her survival." I love my Baby. He understands me so well and he's just such a good partner, best actually. The others guy that I've dated in the past was a real joke. Sad but true. I'm glad that I've past that stage in my life as well.

I think like technology, I've evolved and got better with time. ��

He brought me to Tiffany & Co. over the weekend to pick up an Anniversary gift for me. He's really just the sweetest boyfriend ever. We had a really good weekend. We had really good meals which was to-die-for and we managed to spend alot of quality time together. Pure bliss. I hope to have more of these type of days with you Baby.

This is now my second favourite piece of jewelery after the diamond promise ring you gave me. =* I love you Baby. Happy Anniversary again...

Celebration: Malaysia's 55th Independence Day!!

Tomorrow, which is the 31st of August 2012, it's Malaysia's 55th Year of Independence or better known to us Malaysians as Merdeka!! Malaysia is not a perfect country, we're far from being called alright but the country isn't too bad especially when it comes to the variety of food you can find here. The weather is so so but when you want a good tan, you can almost get it naturally, almost all year round. It's crazy during the heat waves though. One thing that's good about Malaysia is that you can't simply just buy a gun that easily unlike countries like US, where you hear about open shooting in schools and so on. =( Anyway, Malaysia is still growing up, we're still learning to be better.


I know that most of us are happy that it fell on a Friday, that only means, it's a long-er weekend. =P More rest. For me, I'll be up at 6am tomorrow. I have a huge, important chore to do first thing in the morning and I'm looking forward to it. I'm super excited and happy. It's going to be a long drive. It's going to be solidary but also fill with excitement at the same time. =)

So True: We Remember Moments...

When you really think about it, we can't remember every single detail about the things that we've encountered but we can definitely remember the fraction of moments in it. This even applies for your happiest moments in life. Ever wondered whether there really is just one "happiest" moment in your life or are there actually many, as we can't measure happiness per say. You definitely am able to tell whether you're happy, really happy or feeling the euphoric feeling of bliss but the "happiest".. Hhhhhhmmmmm.. I think itcan be really subjective depending on how you look at it. It definitely does makes you ponder and wonder.
