where's the maple syrup and pancakes?

O' CANADA! 

the land of pancakes and maple syrup with the most polite people that you can find. 

so yesterday, i attended sunway international school's first ever "international understanding day" (aka IU day) held by their interact club. this is the second IU day that i've attended. the first one was an IU day celebration by my own school last year with the theme life in technicolor. it was pretty enjoyable for a first time but it wasn't as good as sunway's IU day celebration. 

so being a school that follows the canadian education system, their IU day theme was o' canada. i was excited to go because i've heard that the people there are very fun and one of my friends, amanda — whom i met via the wonderful and glorious internet — has been sharing information about the event and it looked very exciting. another reason why i wanted to attend was because i wanted to meet amanda for the first time in person. and let me just say that the girl's hair (which is bright purple and pink) is brighter than my future. 

i didn't attend the celebration alone. in fact I went with two of my friends that live in the same neighborhood as me. wei lyn and shyne-ni (pronounced as sheh ni) it was their first ever IU day attended and it seems that they had quite a fun time as much as i did. 

the performances were great and the mc's were hilarious especially one of them named denzel who was as wild and loud as his long afro tied into a ponytail. him and the other mc (rahul) started of the celebration with the both of them entering the stage while singing a high school musical song. the performances were pretty unexpected too. most of them were singing performances but there were also cheerleading and poetry reading which was different from your usual stage acts. there was even a flash mob that occurred which completely took all of us by surprise. random people started standing on their chairs when the music went off and ran onto the stage and started dancing. 

the majority of the students there were korean. even the group of girls sitting in front of us were koreans. there were so many koreans there that i thought to myself "damn am i in sunway or am i in korea?" 

other than the performances, the food they provided there was incredible too. did you know that the hawaiian pizza despite its name was originally created in canada? well now you do. and did you know that poutine is a french canadian dish that is  made of french fries with gravy and cheese and it is also heavenly delicious. it was the first time eating poutine and now i absolutely love it ♡ it's a definite must try for all you who don't know it's delicious cheesy and gravy coated goodness. 

sadly i didn't get to have any pancakes with maple syrup because they ran out but i did get loads of poutine and pizza which made up for it ☻ overall a great event and i will definitely come back again for any of their future events. i'll end this blog post here with some other pictures we took at the event. till then, au revoir! xx

hey everyone! so it's been ages since my last blog post but yea now i'm back and will update more regularly (i hope).

so 2014 is pretty good for me so far. things have been going superb. i got to have fun and get closer with some really cool people and also discover and listen to some pretty good music like champagne supernova by oasis, heart to heart by james blunt, changing of the seasons by two door cinema club, and much much more. i even started owning a second instagram account called flowaah_ where i post  cool stuff from tumblr. i'm really happy with that because it got quite a lot of followers and i even managed to make some internet friends from it so go check it out maybe ☺ it's not as much as some of the other accounts but its a lot to me.

i even started to get more involved in clubs too so that's why i took part in my school's interact club and even joined the taekwondo club. joining back taekwondo after so long made me realise how much i actually missed it. it felt good letting out my anger through taekwondo passive aggressively.

well other than that i guess some other stuff came up too like how i kind of lost a friend because of some pretty personal yet stupid and ridiculous reasons but unlike her, i will not badmouth her like she did to me on the internet to the public because i'm much more mature than that and i'm not as childish as she is. lets just say that i don't care about her any more. i'm not going to give her any attention at all. not even negative attention because that's what she's looking for which is any form of attention no matter what. she is toxic waste and i don't need her in my life.

well i guess that's all for now. will update next time when something interesting in my life happens ✌

i'll leave you all with this really good song ♡♡♡

winter slumber party ❆ ❄ ❅

hello friends, i have not blogged lately because (big shocker) i have been busy trying to participate. and by participate i mean trying to socialise and get a life. it's been pretty good so far...

so here i am. i am back and since i have just came back from a winter slumber party with two of my best friends (a.k.a. niggas 4 lyf) a few days ago, i am going to give you a rough guide on some fun things that you can do to have your own great winter slumber party ☺

so here's "how to have a winter slumber party the mickums way" (note: i don't think that i have ever introduced myself before. my real name is miki actually and my nickname is mickums. the nickname has just kind of stuck and i've used it ever since.)

beautiful snowflake woooo.... ❆❄❅

just screw your diet for one night
and binge all the way

1. stock up on snacks
- a slumber party isn't a slumber party without all the junk food. so make sure that you have plenty of it. i recommend the best type of slumber party food like nachos and pizza because comfort food for the soul ☺

2. slumber party movie marathon

- every slumber party needs its own little movie marathon. some movies that i recommend are disney movies because those never get old. 

neither do i wendy *sigh*

3. accent challenges

- try speaking in different accents with each other. it's a super fun way to laugh yourselves senseless especially if you're speaking in a silly accent like scottish and sound like a barbarian. 

4. don't sleep until 2a.m. earliest

- slumber parties are all about that night life and if you sleep before 2 it just means you're a wuss. 

5. dye each other's hair

- you can use temporary hair dye and dye each other's hair in really cool and weird colours like blue or green and the best part is that the dye comes off once you was it with shampoo.

they look a little something like this but you can always
use hair chalk instead if you prefer. 

6. become master chef 

- cook or bake something. you could bake something like chocolate chip cookies or even just make a simple omelette. who knows? you could be the next master chef.

7. decorate a christmas tree

- nothing says winter slumber party more than a good old christmas tree. blast some christmas songs while you're at it. if you don't have a christmas tree, then why not invest in one? christmas trees never go out of style. 

the actual tree that my friends and i decorated.
beautiful isn't it?

8. make hot chocolate

- and don't forget the whipped cream and extra chocolate sprinkles ☺☺☺

you can add marshmallows too if
you prefer. it's all up to you

9. paint each other's nails

paint your nails christmas themed
to get all of you in the christmas mood

- IT'S GIRLS BONDING TIME! paint your nails with your friends while having good old girl talk like talking about your exes and stuff hehehehehe.....

10. miniature concert time
- sing some songs together and pretend that you're at your own concert. it's even better if one of your friends plays an instrument (i.e. guitar/piano) as the rest of you sing. 


so i guess that's all i have for you on how to have your own winter slumber party. you don't have to follow the list exactly. in fact, you can even add your own thing like go christmas shopping or paint one of those cheat painting stuff with the numbers. it's entirely up to you. the most important thing is to have fun and that's all that matters. hope you all manage to have your own great winter slumber party ❆ ❄ ❅
