You know,I have this really odd habit of going back to an old, favourite website of mine that I've not gone to in ages. Neopets is one, I'm currently obsessed with it. Hey,the games are fun kay!! XD

*Flashback: I've not blogged in over 6 months*

And of course, blogspot. I guess I never really steer away from what I like. In a way, it shows that I know who I am and I know what I like, even though it takes me some time to realise and remember. I guess it's also safe to say that I treat these websites like old friends; I may neglect them from time to time but I never forget them.

Here that Chiu Mun baby?? I never,ever forget you!! But give me a kick in the ass if I don't contact you for like, over a month or something.
XD

Anyways people, just to update you to whosoever is interested in reading what I have to say, if there is any.

Mind you, I'm quite a sarcastic person. So if you're smart enough, you should be able to detect the hints of sarcasm in my writing.

I am going to Britain soon after all.

Moving on. As I was saying, about the whole never steering away from what I actually like kinda thing, it sort of similar to my whole uni situation right now. I think if you had read some of my previous posts, you can kinda get the fact that I was supposed to go to UK soon after my A Levels finished.

Well,life doesn't work out sometimes,the way we want to. I know many people would agree with me on that. Just to clarify,I had the grades and the financial backup; my reason was more on a personal basis,but that's another story.

Basically,what I can tell you now is that my confidence in wanting to pursue my Law degree waived a little, and I went through a stage where I was really questioning myself "What do I really want to do in life?"

"What can I do that's gonna make me happy?Or what really makes me happy?Gives me a 'kick'?"

The last bit is courtesy of my dad,thank you very much.

It's a bit odd. To have this rush of philosophical maturity flood over you...it's surreal. Part of growing up,I guess. Time for it finally, I suppose. (Not that I've never gone through a "maturity zone-out" process,which is about a million times. It's just that this time,it really hit me hard. I mean,it's my first degree, for god's sake).

My emotional check: "This is sooooo weird!!" :O

Alright,history aside,I'm happy to say that I am happy at where I am now.Currently studying at Help U/C and doing my UK Degree Transfer Programme, seems to me that everything's back on track and working out the way it should be.

But whatever it is,I cannot predict my future.

But at least I can make my own adventure.

And finally,I rejoin the blogging world after a long hiatus :) Which mind you,was filled with exams,rehearsals,GRADUATION & performances.

From the 11th May 2009-11th June 2009,I was sitting for my final A Level examinations at Sun-U,and I was really busy studying which didn't leave me much time to blog. And then throughout 11th June-14th May 2009, back to rehearsals for my upcoming graduation. I was the choreographer for cha-cha and I've been getting rave reviews from my director and his assistants that it was awesome ^^

My Graduation was divided into 2 parts: The Graduation Ceremony itself and the Ball. My cha-cha was a part of a seven-part Latin themed performance by my juniors and fellow seniors. There was Salsa,Samba and other Latin songs as well.For the Ball,I had to choreograph my own Latin solo (I was the opening act) in a span of 2 days because I didn't have enough time to do so. I was super worried it wouldn't turn out well,but in the end,I think I did a pretty decent job :D

Mr DJ was supposed to DJ for my ball,and I was really looking forward for him spinning. However,the head lecturer of the prom committee decided one someone else who came later. I did feel that it was a tad unfair cos Mr Dj came to meet Mr Kingsley way ahead of time (like 2 months) to be booked as the DJ for the night. I'm not certain of what her reasoning to change DJs was,but my guess would be pricing. But *sigh* I do feel bad for him.

~ Listening to "Nobody", Ne-Yo"

Was listening to my new Tiesto CD before this though :D

Anyhoo, dropped by Nina's blog just now.She had an episode of "soap-in-my-tresses-and-not-shampoo-like-I-thought-it-was" :O Yours truly also has had her fair share of these incidents. I use my mom's hairdresser's recommended shampoo to control my wavy locks, and believe me, it stings like a b****!! >:# However, my best friend, Sam, didn't just get foam in her eyes, it was some serious amount of liquid shampoo @_@

My best babe just seems to know the right way to crack me up XD

When I go to college, I bring my shampoo and re-use an empty MAC make-up remover bottle to store my shampoo in. The shampoo bottle that the hairdresser gives me weighs a friggin 1 liter, so I just pour about *ngam-ngam* 100 ml into the MAC bottle.

Sam slept over my place on a Friday night, when I come back from Sunway on the weekends. She tried on some eyeliner just for fun, and went to the toilet to wash it off. I apparently left my MAC bottle with saturated yellow shampoo in it on my bathroom sink, and...well, read the following dialogue:

Warning: No Chiu Muns were hurt (well,seriously) in the making of this blog post:

Sam : Ouch.."rubbing her left eye" Babe,my eyes hurt la.
Miss Fedora: Eh, why la babe? Eyeliner got into your eye ke?
Sam : Urhh..I don't know lor.I used some of your eye make-up remover that was on the sink.
Miss Fedora: Umm..which one? The chamomile Body Shop eye make-up remover is it?
Sam: Umm...no...The pink MAC bottle.
Miss Fedora: Huuh? What? But that one finished already lor.
Sam : No,no,it's on your sink. Go see la.

*Miss Fedora enters her bathroom*

Miss Fedora: Oh shit Sam!!! That's friggin SHAMPOO laa!!!!
Sam: WTF?? I RUBBED shampoo on my eye?!
Miss Fedora: Oy,how could you think it looked like make-up remover in there babe?!
Sam: I dunno..! I mean,my sis has some really saturated make-up remover like that, so I assumed so larr!!
Miss Fedora: Got such thing aa? O.O"
Sam: Umm..I think so? Crap,I better call my dad (who's a doctor). Wanna ask him about the side effects of accidentally inserting a finger-thick amount of shampoo through your eye.Omg,am I gonna go BLIND?!

Miss Fedora (partially) is at fault for leaving her shampoo-filled MAC bottles around her bathroom for she should know better that people (who don't check properly) will (instantly) mistake them for shampoo (-.-"). The error is regretted.



Oh btw, I was surfing through a few sites and found a few items which I wish to visually indulge in, cos I don't have the luxury to afford them :'( Couldn't resist putting them up :3 Have a looksee and feast your eyes upon them:


Roberto Cavalli ankle-strap heels


A classic and pink nature-inspired cake


How materialistic can I get?! Wahahahahaha XD

It's been a good almost one and a half years.

The A Levels graduation is drawing near,gosh.I can't believe it's nearly the end of the 1 & 1/2 years that I've enrolled for in the beginning. I can still remember the first day that I registered for A Levels at the Student Centre at Sun-U last year, imagine that.

I like the fact that I'm *finally* graduating, but now that my course is coming to an end, I'm feeling half & half about it. I feel sad that I won't be able to see my collegemates every day anymore; eating lunch with them, hanging out at Sunway Pyramid, goofing off, teasing each other, and basically creating college memories with them.

Yah sure,I'll probably get to see them after graduation,but not everyday anymore.Plus,we'll probably be doing our own things after graduating: Best buddy and maths tutor Jeff's likely to go off to Singapore in June or August and apply for permanent residency, so that'll give me about only 2 months or so to spend time with him :(

As for me,I'll most likely take off to UK (hopefully,if I make it to Nottingham) in mid-Sept.Without doubt, I'm going to miss my friends and family: the best babe Sam,the folks,the grandfolks,the million-and-one aunties,uncles and cousins; the byatchy sis,the devilish baby bro,the pet Angora rabbit...(Lol,I wish). But most of all,

I'm gonna miss him :(

I miss cheerleading :( But hey, it was fun while it lasted. I hold to the philosophy of :

" When you've done your time, there's not much need to continue anymore. Leave a legacy behind".



This was the SMK Seri Bintang Selatan squad of 2008, Southanchorz, a combination of Southern Star and Anchorz members. My sister, Nadia Amir, was captain.

She calls the squad "My Baby".

Check this Youtube viddy out as well : (Okay, so the name's kinda weird, but the song is so kick-ass)

1) I pick 27 things instead of 25 because 7 is my favourite number.

2) It's my favourite because I believe it has mystical properties. 7 colours of the rainbow, 7 days in a week, 7 sins. You get it.

3) The 27th is also my birthday :) in April.

4) I'm a MaChindian, and loving it :D I'm one-eighth Chinese,one-eighth Indian & one-eighth Javanese too.

5) I know only one other person who's Machindian; Amanina aka Nino.

6) I inherited my curly hair from my dad's side of the family.

7) My paternal grandfather has a mini white Afro :P

8) I've been a Contemporary/ Modern dancer since I was 4, so that makes it 15 years of dancing.

9) I've been tapping since I was 9.10 years.

10) I consider myself a "fairly decent" dancer.Not that great, but not too bad either.

11) I'm a very artsy person.I love Performing Arts,Visual Arts,Music,Dance,Theatre,Drama.You name it.

12) I can draw fairly well and play a bit of acoustic.

13) I LOVE FEDORAS XD I have 5 now. I want a white one. *Hint hint* :P

14) My blog tag name is Miss Fedora.

15) Being ignored and being betrayed are the 2 most heinous things that you can do to me.

16) I love writing. Articles, poetry, etc. I'm contemplating of becoming an authoress when I grow up.

17) I also dream of being an emcee!

18) I'm a fan of local female emcees like Sarimah Ibrahim, Marion Caunter, Aishah Sinclair,Sazzy Falak, Cheryl Samad, Juliana Ibrahim and Belinda Chee. I like their perkiness :D

19) I tried to apply for a job at the Talent Factory and tried out for the 8TV casting call but to no avail :( Oh well.

20) I'm a big fan of the Fantasy and Paranormal genre, like Artemis Fowl books. Escapism from real-life.

21) I was a cheerleading captain of 2 years :) It wasn't easy to take care of a squad. But nonetheless rewarding.

22) I wish to be a spokesperson of a Mental Health Care Charity Organisation one day. I want to help people who suffer from bipolar,panic anxiety disorders and the like.

23) I'm a very sympathetic person. I have a soft spot to help people who need my help.

24) Because of that, my kindness has been taken advantage of many times, especially back in school.

25) And I did want to take a degree in Psychology, but opted for Law instead because I thought I was better in it.

26) I DON'T LIKE MATHS.'Nuff said.Never want to take a degree that's heavy in Maths. A lil' bit is okay.

27) I believe that strong people are not people who don't give a damn about what hurts them, but I believe that strong people are those who let themselves be vulnerable to hurt, but manage to overcome that on their own.

~ Listening to "Greenlight", John Legend ~

Look, I know I'm not supposed to upload anything from Deviantart,

but maybe just this once.

The true "Lady Fedora"

Do you know that the hat was actually named after a character from a play? Her name was Princess Fedora :D She wore a hat which gained popularity among the ladies in the late 1880s.

I have disputed a certain Adrian Choo's claim that fedoras are just for guys. HAH

Note: If anyone can get that fedora in the Deviant artwork, I LOVE YOU TO BITS XD
