YouTube Sensation

Hey Peepoes!! I have been posting more frequent than before which is good since I am sticking to my resolution.. Anyway, it might also due to the reason that I am still hyped in blogging mood and I keep having ideas to post...

I have been quite keen on YouTube lately and it's not to watch shows, series or interviews.. Instead, I have been following a few YouTube celebrities...

Here are some of the channels I have been following..





Jason Chen aka miniachilles
I started listening to him after a friend shared his cover of "Hate that I love you" and it got me addicted to his covers, then I started listening to his originals, this is my current favourite, "Burns" and there's another one that I really like, it's called "Solo Player" which featured...




Jen aka Frmheadtotoe who is also a blogger.. she post make up tutorials on her blogs and are fun to watch.. I love watching her tutorials although I don't put on make up on daily basis, only during special occasions.. but her videos are really interesting..




Jen also starred in "Away We Happened" a web series produced by Wong Fu Productions an independent production company which reminded me of what i have always aspired to do... When I was watching their interview, I totally understand the feeling of having to watch out behind their shoulders when they were filming without a permit... When I was doing my uni assignments, we had to look out for security guards who will constantly keep on eye on us after finding out that we have cameras and are shooting on the property they are in charge in... those times may be tiring but no doubt they were a whole lot of fun... They have interesting videos.. so check them out if you're interested..

And then we have....



Tiffany Alvord, I found her after watching Jason Chen's "Burns" video, as embedded above.. she also did a few covers with him and I really love her version of "We are never ever getting back together", no offense to the original maybe I have a different taste.. She will be coming to Malaysia for a showcase on March but the VIP tickets were sold out.. Sigh.. If i could get someone to go with me, I will settle with the chill zone tickets because I can go stand there by myself, fyi Chill Zone is free standing so it's wiser to go with a friend so that you won't get bullied by people who went in a group...




Then I found Sam Tsui on the side bar while listening to Tiffany's version of "I knew you were trouble" and his version straight away became my favourite.. still, no offense to the original.. the guy's version of the song is nice too!!

Last but not least,




Megan Nicole, she did "Safe and Sound" and "Who says" with Tiffany, and both of them were really nice.. She also did "Locked out of Heaven" with Sam Tsui which has been on replay on my YouTube playlist..

These are my current favourites.. I havent been checking out other YouTubers who does cover videos, so I don't mean that the others are not good just these few are my current find and current favourite.. Feel free to share your favourite YouTube channel in the comments..

Macau-Hong Kong Birthday Trip Day 4

Happy 2013!!

I'm back to my travel posts.. Day 4 in HK... We decided to stay around Kowloon for the day and go shopping.. We had breakfast at a porridge shop which we forgot to take photos of..After that, we took off to City University of Hong Kong to get some information.. This was my personal itinerary.. and hp was kind enough to come along with me.. 

We followed the directions I found online.. CityU is right next to a shopping mall... in other to reach the University, you will need to go through the mall... How happening.. 

Walking into the university was nice.. I never had the chance to study in a school with a campus.. my university was just a building.. a factory-like building in an industrial area... anyway, i got a chance to walk around the campus because i was searching for the department of further studies.. i stumbled upon the department of english to check out one of their masters course..

I really hope that I could have the chance to come study here one day... well, seeing the condition I'm in.. it will have to wait.. I hate being in a condition that I cannot tell anybody about.. sigh... I sure hope the source of the problem will stop causing problems.. I really have plans for my life without these problems hanging around like dusts in the air, I would have accomplished quite a few of my plans already..

Back to HK, after CityU, we stopped by Langham Place.. hp wanted to go to their H&M.. that time, H&M have not come to Malaysia yet... so she wanted to buy some stuff there since she couldn't get it in Malaysia YET... I am not sure what promotion H&M had, the crowd was crazy!!! no photos coz I heard the salesperson told off another person to not take photos so I decided to not take the risk.. I wasn't planning to lbuy anything.. so i just roam and wandered around while hp was choosing apparels and queuing for the fitting room.. I forgot how long we took but we spent quite some time in H&M..

After that, we went shopping at Argyle Centre... One of my favourite place to shop.. I saw a cute dress when we first walked in and bargained a while.. the price was ok but not really a must-buy-bargain price so I said we'll walk around first.. and I saw the same dress in another shop.. and was offered the same price but the first shop offered me a free belt whilst the second shop did not.. so, in the end, I went back to the first shop to buy... and GOSH!!! the lady from the second shop was there and caught me buying from the first shop.. Awkward!!! then she told me, they were under the same boss so their clothes are similar and she asked the girl from the first shop how much she offered me and she said the same price as the lady had offered.. ooo.. this is really awkward that I quickly paid and got out of the shop.. phew...

Then we head to Miramar Shopping Centre.. I remembered coming here in 2008 and shopped at their Uniqlo... and that was when Uniqlo was not in Malaysia yet...

While waiting for hp as she was in the wash room (we didnt have phones to contact each other so I have to stay at one place to wait), there was a prize giving ceremony happening at the ground floor.. good thing there was something to watch.. i think it was some awareness video prize giving thingy.. I only remembered to take photos after the event is done.. but looking at them clearing up reminds me of the last episode of EMUF...

While I was waiting for hp who was using the toilet again... i took photo of the roads outside the mall.. You are looking at Tsim Sha Tsui now...

Then, we head to Megabox.. I remember Megabox was a fun place to hang out.. but maybe coz my feet was hurting, no sure why.. I could usually walk for long hours, maybe the soles of my new shoes were too hard.. so we left Megabox and cancelled our plan about going to APM to see oolongtea, and head back to the hotel..

It was our last time using the Octopus card.. so after we reached Jordan, we hand in the card and got our refund..

Just something we saw on the way back to the hotel.. this was actually remote control cars moving along the street.. i thought it was cute but couldn't get a clear shot... so just use your imagination, will ya??

It's our last night in HK.. and it's my birthday the next day...

Stay tuned for more..

hey there 2013

Hey there Peepoes!! (This is a word i invented to replace the word people.. I know people is already a plural and I didn't have to add an "s" to it.. but it's just to make the word look cute and I've roughly googled it to just check if there are any weird meanings associated to it but in the meantime there's none so I hope I am the first person who uses this word.. Yo Peepoes!!)

After wading in the 2013 sea for 2 weeks, I have finally made up my mind on what should me 2013 resolutions be.. It did took me long enough.. Hah!

1. Finish up my fanfics.. Oh, I have been dillydally-ing with my fanfics for the longest time where none of them are completed.. I'm not including the ones I wrote when I was 13-15, those were done and they seem so childish.. Oh well, I guess I have grown.. I have so many stories in my mind that some actually are almost 10 years old already!!! SO this resolution are for those posted online.. like my current work on a side story of Harry Potter.. it's in progress in my other blog.. you can find the link at the side.. or here.. and another one in my chinese blog.. I must get that one completed this year.. I have been writing that for like almost 8 years already!!! For Janet Hayden (the side story of Harry Potter), I should at least reach book 2 or completed book 1 this year.. This will not be easy but I really should get them done... after so many years, I really have to get them done..

2. Update my blogs more often.. maybe, 3 posts a month.. so i'll need to have at least 36 posts in 2013... and update my chinese blog at least once a month.. hopefully I could do that.. just to brush up my writing..

3. Find a new photo hosting site.. For some reason, my picasa web album that was provided by Blogger is almost full, so i will need a new photo hosting site if i were to post blogs with photos.. This is not really a resolution.. it's a reminder.. but anyway..

4. Read more.. I believe I have blogged about my haul during BBW.. both english and chinese books, i have quite a few in store and unread.. time to get those stories into my life!!


Alright, that's all for 2013's resolution.. Signing off for now..
