It is official! "Strawberry Marshmallow Memoirs" now exists! It is the continuation and successor of "Dark Cinderella"! So, start subscribing, because I'm already up to my neck in changing applications for my various internet accounts. After all, I've already got enough work on my hands sorting out contacts and sending out notifications with my NEW EMAIL ADDRESS>>>>>> izzybellboo@hotmail.com
ADD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But don't worry. Dark Cinderella, my new blog's predecessor, is not retiring. Now and then, I'll probably be popping in now and then, but as for peoper blogging on this old account? I'm not so sure.....
And yeah, my new username is of course, "izzybellboo". What else? At least it's not "sharingan_sephiroth" *ugh**shudder* It's been great on Dark Cinderella, but it's time to move on now. Goodbye DC. I'll be seeing you around someday else. <3
Hey guys, I'm in the ultimately hectic process of ramming a vast assortment of souvenirs, clothes, and other items into my already overstuffed suitcase(s) (note the plural LOL). Packing is great fun, when you have no limits to storage space. Not so fun when the big Chinese fan bought on impulse, simply won't allow itself to be stuffed with great force in between my sentimental stuffed animals (which i simply can't bear to leave behind) and my 5 brand new dresses.
I don't even want to think about unpacking when I get back. Unpacking can be a DRAG... especially if you've got a lot of dirty laundry.
There's not much I can look forward to about going back to Florida. The few exceptions are probably wearing my wonderful funky new outfits (although I'm not so happy about dressing up nicely in MY school. It's school! Why should I make an effort to look pleasing?), enjoying what little holiday time I have left with my few scant Florida buddies, and my NEW KITTENS.
Yes, my Dad emailed my mum saying that my two cats, Cinderella and Rapunzel have finally given birth. I think that Rapunzel has 3 kittens, and Cinderella has 5. Now the problem is...... My dad also mentioned that Cinderella unfortunately had the impulse to give birth on... my BED. My BED which has WHITE bedsheets and a matching WHITE comforter with pink roses. Now it is covered in blood and some other pregnancy mess, which I don't want to think about. Oh well. On the bright side, I can have a new bedset, right? T_T
Anyway, it;s been absolute BLISS visiting everyone back in Malaysia. I will miss Malaysian food once more... I'm going to try to squeeze in some mamak before I have to catch my plane. :) It's been amazing hanging out with you all back here in KL. And I had so much fun shopping in REAL clothes stores, and spending time with my much missed extended family. This has been the best holiday of my LIFE. And I won't forget it.
I am so thankful for having such wonderful friends who have stuck with me since young, and all the way till now. You guys have been so thoughtful, and I wish I could do something in return. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
And so sadly, I am packing my bags (with great effort LOL) to return to Florida with a heavy heart. At least, I can bring back with me, not just material items, but great memories that can comfort me and hopefully stay with you guys too.
Okay, now that THAT cheesy speech is over (IMAO)............
I have some news and updates:
Remember those rumors about Izzy crossing over to BLOGGER? (actually those rumors were started by IZZY herself anyway...... LOL) Well.......
I'M STICKING WITH XANGA (haha)
So have no fear! After careful thought, I've decided that I simply can't bear to leave Xanga after being a devoted member for such a long time! Besides, the guilt would be too much for this one, and I really like the Xanga community. Sure, I'm curious about Blogger, but Xanga is my refuge, and I shall always be a XANGAN. Now and forever. Izzy from this post and forever more pledges that she will always stay with XANGA and never cross over. She hits herself many times in the head with a stone brick for even having THOUGHTS about moving to Blogger. So breathe guys.... I won't move.
But, I am getting a NEW Xanga account. This one is quite old, and frankly running out of storage space. I'm too tired to change the layout and I've always wanted to make my own anyway. Dark Cinderella was an old era. And now a new one shall prevail. (plus honestly, I can't stop sinking in embarassment at "sharingan_sephiroth").
So await the new Izzy in at least a week or two!
Until then, this has been
IZZY BIZZY
Ooh and by the way???????? DARK KNIGHT IS F****** AWESOME. (I've watched it TWICE)
Hey guys, As of now I'm still in Malaysia, but my wonderful stay is unfortunately coming to an end. Things have CHANGED... for sure. (well one of the things that definitely hasn't changed is the fact that this stupid apple laptop I'm using won't let me blog with FANCY LETTERING and PRETTY STUFF).
But anyway, I've decided.... it's time Izzy was honest to herself.
Coming back to a life here in Malaysia that I left behind, I've realized many things, and now I'm going to put that to use. I'm tired of using stupid disguises.
Now Izzy is going to be the true Izzy. I'm going to be my REAL self. Time to be honest with things I really like. Just because I liked stuff in the past, I was scared of change, but I guess it's nescessary. I don't have to keep putting on acts anymore. Just because a person changes a lot doesn't mean it can be a bad thing. Frankly, it can be a good thing. So yeah, some of my readers (of which I think I have FEW) must be thinking "you're walking in circles now, Izzy, and not really making much sense".
Well, I really had a wake-up moment.... and as always, Izzy always discovers things on her own.
All of what I'm saying will make sense in my NEW BLOG.
Yes, that's right people, I'm getting a NEW blog. It's been fun on Xanga, but it's time to move on. Besides the utterly childish name "sharingan_sephiroth" *puke* UGH..... I need a new look that stays true to my real self. This blog is a reflection of the old me, and this time I want to be my true self. I started this blog a year ago......... I think it's time I started a new one.
No, not a NEW one. It's going to be a continuation of the old one.
Hey, but I'm going to keep this Xanga blog of course. I might even update it if it's nescessary (though I'm not quite sure what circumstances might come up in that matter).
And now I have to unfortunately admit that.... ahaha...... Izzy is going to succumb to BLOGSPOT. I'M SORRY. As much as I love Xanga, I think I might try blogspot. I've always wanted to, so I'm going to.... Although I could start a different Xanga blog. I'm definitely not deleting my old blog (this one) though.
I'll explain everything about this sudden "change of heart" in the new blog. Okay? I think, that in this space of two months of return to my old life, I've been doing some GROWING UP..... In a sad way. But I know it is a good thing.
Yeah, so I might not be making much sense now, but just wait guys. Just wait. Don't worry. I'm still Izzy. But a better, refined Izzy.
I'll miss you Xanga.
(oh, and this isn't the "farewell" post. Not yet. I need some time to make preparations!!!)
It HAS been a while since I last blogged, eh? APOLOGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My lovely desktop which holds many memories, back in my old bedroom in KL, sadly will not allow me to access the internet, much is the pity. But luckily for me, after days without blogging here, I have acquired a beautiful apple laptop which used to belong to my aunt. She's giving it to me, since she probably now has another laptop of her own that is far more superior to this one, and so I now have a wonderful apple laptop of my own... ALL TO MY SELF. MUAHAHA. I won't be able to do a serious post for now, because there's just so much to do, so much to talk about, and you guys are going to have to wait until I settle down enough to recount the awesome memories I'm collecting.
Like, I can't just sit down and type this post, because there's so much to be taken care of on this laptop. I need to delete all my aunt's old stuff and put my own on. I've got to make my mark you know, make sure that this is MINE, and pimp it out. First thing I did of course, was get rid of the boring bland background of fish swimming through green coral, and replace it with a cute Anna Sui wallpaper. That's the first step to making it known that this laptop is IZZY'S property. I have to express my personality, duh....
And I have to delete all the old music files on this computer, and erase all tracers of its predecessor, to make way for its brand new owner, MOI. Delete all the bookmarks on Safari, and church stuff of which I am not interested in, and replace it with manga tabs and whatnot. Then, also I must remind you all that this is an APPLE laptop, and as an avid, loyal windows user, this transition is taking some time getting used to. It's quite convenient though, I must admit, but there are some things from windows which I kind of miss. And I do love my old windows desktop which I spent so many hours on so many years ago... The speakers are broken so I always had to use headphones, and I replaced the boring old Microsoft theme with an awesome Final Fantasy X theme which took up a lot of memory, and the files are filled with old media of which I'm no longer a fan of, but cannot change simply because there is no internet access for my old desktop to download new files ---- But I love my old desktop all the same.
However, now is not the time to lament about my old desktop. I'm going to pathetically and lamely quote Edna Mode, from "The Incredibles" (Yeah... Could I possible get any cheesier than this? But you have to admit it's a good quote), "I never look back. It distracts from the now". Which I not quite true for me, because I always like looking back, to use stuff for reference, and it's always pleasant to take a trip down memory lane and smile, cry, or laugh. :)
Now, I must also warn everyone, that like an idiot, I most stupidly and absentmindedly, left my camera battery charger and wire for uploading pictures, so for now, you're going to have to either make do with blank posts, or just wait it out till I dolefully return to Florida to upload my awesome photo shots of MALAYSIA and some good good times.... Also, there's going to be no fancy shmancy font and text colour, because the internet still has vast problems, and the font and text/background options are missing from the top of the screen... So make do with plain-ness for now! Or otherwise, I might as well just change my post patterns.... It gets kind of frustrating, trying to add variation in each post's colour scheme and stuff anyway...
But anyway, I can sense the tension of my readers tingling... so I guess it's time I stated the most important thing which is the highlight of this post:
I'M BACK IN MALAYSIAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *WOOT* (ugh, like I said, the font options aren't available at the moment, so I can't make the letters supersized. Just bear with capitalization and my frustration for now, guys!)
And there is so much to talk about, but unfortunately I just can't describe it..... at the moment, I'm far too excited. The main thing, guys, is that I'm HOME at last, and it feels GREAT. It's so nostalgic --! I'm staying in my grandma's house, and I feel so comfortable; a feeling I haven't had since I left Malaysia... My bedroom holds so many old memories, and not much has changed in that house which I grew up in with so many cousins, except for the fact that it's become smaller than I remembered. DUring that 1-year space of absence when I left for Florida, I've GROWN. :)
I've been to a sleepover at Sarah's, which included Eva Tham, and that was just AWESOME (we had a blast ^____^), been shopping with those two as well, went for dinner with my cousin Annice, and I'm just having the greatest time of my life.
The sleepover at Sarah's was crazy fun~ We all went nuts in a nonstop round of gangsta lip-synching (and I had a spot of Eminem's "Real Slim Shady". Watch Sarah's videos to find out what I mean lol). Plus, Sarah's new house is EPIC. And then we went shopping in 1 Utama, did glorious print club, and I bought a lovely Nichi shirt, which my cousins fell in love with. We also watched "Get Smart", which was HILARIOUS. I want to watch it again!
I also went shopping with my Mum at some random chic stores nearby my house in OUG yesterday, and I bought at least RM 800 worth of AWESOME clothes. I can't wait to post the pics up on this blog... They're just so COOL. The store clerks have such great taste. I even bought bags and shoes, and other stuff, and all for really good prices. The total was about RM 800, but for such a great haul of clothing, accesories and other stuff, that's just the best deal you'll ever find.
And I'm going to Singapore this weekend ^__^ More shopping --- *woot* There's just so much happening and so much that I'm happy about, my heart could burst with joy!!!! I can't possible fit it in this post! Maybe when the excitement dies down enough for me to make a serious decription of every event, when I'm back in bland boring old Florida, then I'll catch up... I'm so happy, I could cry~~~~~
I LOVE YOU GUYS! (I'm going to try and pay a visit to GIS this week!)
I'm going to log off now.... I'm in the process of downloading Frostwire, and taking more procedures to ensure that this laptop is consumed by my preferences and I'm making it MY property~ Yes, I'm taking the efforts to confirm that this laptop is MINE and ONLY MINE.
By the way, I had roti canai yesterday and it was HEAVEN.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK. ^_^ ************************************************************************************************
GOD...... Apple is so different. There are functions missing, and it won't let me add html to this FACKING post, or any kind of emoticon or picture for that matter. You guys will have to bear with boring undecorated posts..... And yes, it won't let me add html, so I can't put my QUIZZES ON. UGH!!!!!
I think I’ve got everything down…. Maybe I should write a check list and mark down the items I want to bring. My Mum told me not to pack too much stuff because we’re supposed to buy a lot of things in Malaysia to bring back. Because I wouldn’t be caught DEAD in any of the store-bought clothings they have here in Florida, I absolutely refuse to buy any clothes that are in this place. I will only buy clothes in Malaysia or Singapore.
So yes, I have two bulging bags sitting in my bedroom, and a wallet bursting with American dollars that I saved and scrimped for 6 months. And when I convert those dollars to Malaysian RM…. That obviously signifies a SHOPPING SPREE!!!!!!
Still, it’s not like I’m going to party the moment I get to Malaysia. My gals still have school and also exams, which end on Friday… I’ll be suffering from bouts of extreme jet lag…. But the main point is that I WILL BE AT HOME! HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
And I’m going to keep this post extremely short, because I need to get some rest in. I have to wake up early for tomorrow’s flight at 6 am, an ungodly hour for a night owl like I am, and also I’m too excited to say much….. I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO STE MY FEET DOWN ON MALAYSIAN SOIL! To celebrate, I went to watch “The Incredible Hulk” with some friends, and it was GOOD, although not as good as “Iron Man”, who made a cameo appearance in the Hulk movie actually. I guess the whole, ‘monster flesh and bursting nerves, clashing against each other in a sweaty brawl” thing isn’t that great for me. Hey, it’s like wrestling, which I enjoy watching… but not when it’s biologically, scientific creations with green skin and monster spines, slamming against each other in New York City.
But anyway, I’m boarding my plane tomorrow. And that’s all that matters now….. And I’m so HAPPY.
SEE YOU SOON GUYS!!!!
PS: To my bestest best friend in the entire universe, Alexis; I’m truly sorry. I was planning on giving you once last call today, but it seems that there just isn’t enough time. I’ll send you an email though, as fast as I can, to tell you how much I miss you, and how much I wish you were with me, and how no matter the amount of fun I have in Malaysia, I know it would be even more wonderful if you were there too. Your best friend Izzy, bows her head in shame. I miss you Lexi.
Recently, I've been in love with this singer's voice... He's not that great looking, but he's got a good voice, and for those of you who pay attention, the song that automatically plaus when you enter my blog, is his song. I'm going to put up the music video for that song. It made me cry... I was so touched. And the lyrics are so sad, if you guys take time to listen to them....
