Unwrapping Hyukoh

Yesterday we were chatting on the poster for Hyukoh. Seeing them not releasing any official merchandise whereas they really have great artworks is just hhhmmmm... And then one of the group members pointed out on the poster lyric book that the band put inside the album.

Guess what?

Me being me, I bought both 23 and 24 last year or last two years, I myself also couldn't remember. Just because I don't want to hurt the album (Oh my hearteuuu..😭 😭😭), I didn't open both albums. They were still wrapped and sealed nicely until yesterday. They said the lyric book was actually the poster. They posted it on the group.

And me being me was like, really? I never knew that. After I got home from work, I was still in dilemma whether or not to unwrap the albums. Both were kept nicely in a box. I wrapped it nicely so that nothing could happen to the album.

Gosh, that's so me 👀👀👀

I calmed myself, clear my mind and started to unwrap the box. And held the album in my hand, with the albums were still in sealed.

The box

Then I started to unwrap them.

😲😲😲😲

My heart! Oh my heart! Gosh. I was feeling so torn doing the unwrapping session. These how the albums looked like, the lyric book and also the posters.

Album 23

Album 24

Looking good there, huh.. 😏😏😏😏

They are all horizontal which is quite amused for me. Never came across such poster in such position. The artworks looking great too. Abstract. And the lyric. The fonts.. 👍👍👍

So this is how they looked like after unwrapped. Congratulation to myself for making such a brave move... Just to see the poster. 

The artiste who designed the cover album, I mean the artworks of both albums, you may follow the account on Twitter. Am not quite sure if am allowed to do this. 

This is the account: nemonan / @nemonannemo

Not sure whether the person is a he or she. But he/she posted such a nice artwork there.

Dear Moon,

(Sorry for using this photo. I know you will not like it. But I want to make sure you have an original photo today without any editing. Hahahaha!)

Happy 32nd birthday to you!
And congratulation for you have made it to this year. I know things were rough for you back then. And it still seems rough too this year. When you keep on telling that you can't live but you can't die either make me worried. It felt broken inside. That's why I feel thankful for you have made it this far. Be strong. Please be grateful for you are still beautifully breathing here.
Always remind yourself to give your best. May the journey you taken now leads you to the place you are always dreaming of.
Be humble all the time.
Remind yourself no matter how hard your life right now, there are people out there who are struggling everyday in order to survive.
Take care of your health since you are in your three series now. Eat well, and please go for exercise too. Perhaps jogging. I know you feel somewhat disappointed when you did the weighing thing last weekend. Hahahaha. So ya, eat well, sleep well, live a healthy life.
Fulfill your commitment toward your job. You may have your own dream (owning a restaurant). Giving this is what you are trained for, I hope you give your best in the field you are involved right now. And at the same time, I hope you will find a way to make your dream come true. Everything you want to do, and everything that you have planned before, if God's will it, it will happen eventually.
I guess that's all I could penned down for you. It was a mess, but yeah, sincerely from me too.
I wish you well in your life.

Happy birthday once again, Moon.

~xoxo~
Dear Self.

BOY IN LUV for JUST ONE DAY

Errmmm. Yup. Hi. Again.

It's the last week of lecture weeks before exam starts this Saturday. Work? So far so good. Still have works to complete, but naaahhhh. I'm taking my time to spend here. Again. For the past few days, I was thinking of deleting this blog. But then, rasa sayang pulak.....

I just found out the two songs I kept on humming and sang for over the past years. I immediately added them into my playlist before I forget about it. And only today I realized the songs were by BTS. Gosh. Talking of not being an ARMY. I only know those songs and whenever I heard the songs before this, I just kept on singing and humming to them. And I would be like, whose songs are these... And never found the answer till two weeks ago. And only today I found out the title.

Boy in Luv and Just One Day. I only remember the song keep on saying say what you want say what you want and the other one, the music, the rhythm is just stucked in my brain for the past years. So whenever the song popped out, I humming to it smoothly. 😆😆😆😆😆

I went to this particular shop about two weeks ago, before Raya I think, they played both songs. So while I was looking for things to buy, I just kept on humming and singing along to the songs. And I was like whose songs are these.

And yesterday I watched this YouTube on BTS history, these two songs popped out, and I was like, owh, those songs! After all these years... After many many years humming to the songs...
Only yesterday I found out about it. 😌😌😌😌😌 When I first listened to Fire and Blood Sweat Tears, felt like I've heard these guys before. It was so good how music can bring you back to past memories... No wonder they sound familiar.

You know it's good if you know the songs but you never know the singer. Why I said this? Because you will keep on coming back to listen to the songs. And without watching the mv, you can actually enjoy more on the songs. Seriously. That's how I remember those two songs. Never watch the mv, never care who sing the songs. So whenever I heard the songs been played, automatically I humming and sing along to it. Same goes to whatever songs that I keep on repeat and listen to. I just prefer to listen without watching the mv.

OMG. Wats this? Talking on BTS. Hahahaha. Is this post dedicated to them? Nahhhhh. Just something I want to type on. If there should be any ARMYs come across this page, you guys stan the best group. Appreciate the group and keep on supporting them. And I really love how they use their fame and influence for doing project with UNICEF. It's totally a great move that every influential people should follow.

So these two will be on repeat. Hahahaha

Happy Wedding Day!

Congratulation!
Happy Wedding Day to our friends, Ghemilian and Sonita!

Both were my university friends.
And their wedding day also became our first mini reunion. Sonita and I had known each other since 2004. We attended the same school during our Form 6 and met again when we entered university. And I knew Ghemilian in university. Never thought the two will be together tho.
Hahahaha
That's life. You will never know what will happen next. Wishing the two have a great life together.

Goshhh. Met other friends as well. Been living in Kuching but still very hard to meet each other.

Now photos time!

Me and my foster sister. Haven't met her for a bout 6 months. Haven't get the chance to go home. Since we've been friends with Sonita, hence attended the same wedding.

Opps! Tuan Inspector Police! Bro-in-law

This girl haaaaa

We were in the same class for one year and a half.

Lower and Upper 6 Science 3. We were taking Biology.

Almost didn't recognize her. There was one schoolmate attended too. She knew me, but I just couldn't remember her name. 

Mini Reunion with the couple

And the friends

Good to see them although not all of them were here.

Glad to know that each of us have our own career.

Most of us involve in the education line.

 

Life as an educator: Part 4 - Happy Teacher's Day!!

Happy Teacher's Day to all educators around the world!!!

And thank you to families and students for the wish. 

Hehehehe

Once a teacher, forever a teacher. 

But gosh, I still prefer the word educator than teacher.

Have to go now. Am in the midst of watching BTS Comeback Preview Show on VLive. 

Fake Love will be released today at 5pm (Malaysia time).

With this, happy holiday!!! I'll be on leave starting tomorrow until June 3rd, 2018. So, most probably am not going to update anything here. Meeennnnnnn, need to reset body and mind before start the new semester later in June. 

Adios!

Life as an educator: Part 2

You see, there will always be ups and downs when you are in this field. As an educator, I've been through the bittersweet of teaching life. I may not have that vast experience. From my own perspective, I think I had seen enough, although it may not be that enough. It just enough for me.

Do you want to know what keeps me happy? What keeps us the educator happy?

From my own experience, it would always be words. Words like thank you, it's nice having you to teach us, we'll meet again next semester. Hahahaha, you never expect that, didn't you?

Honestly, those kind of words keep me overwhelmed, keep me feeling appreciated by my students. It even help to cure and relieve my stress.
I may not show you how much I love hearing those words, but if you look closely, you will see my little smile at the end.😊😊😊😊😊

For me, I just don't need fancy stuffs or gifts or foods from students. The words that you utter to me that I normally and always remember the most. And the most expensive gift, the most valuable gift that I expect from you is to see you excel in your academic, and also in your life after you graduate. I'll be thankful enough for I know I've done my little part in shaping you. That is what I called life.

Since it's almost the end of semester February 2018, few more days before the final exam starts, few students came and brought food. Received cupcakes the other day, thank you very much. I truly appreciate it. Received fried bee hoon yesterday too, thank you very much. I was on diet, but never mind, I ate them by the way. Hahahaha

Thank you, class!

You know it's almost end of the semester if you start to receive things from students or someone leave something on your desk...

And today, I received this. 

My students were like,"Miss, we left something on your desk."

And me,"Really?"

 Auuwwww, so sweet... 

Sweet like BTS Suga.

Well, you know how I love seeing Suga's smiles. Hahahaha

It's addictive.

😁😁😁😁😁

Aaaaa... Looks cute. See the icing. I just use my finger and tasted the icing. Tasted so goodddddd

I assumed it was done by FR Pâtissier (based on the sticker there).

Maybe you should give it a try. 

Based on the taste of the icing, I like it. Hahahaha

Seriously, thank you, guys, for these cupcakes. I really appreciate it. 

I wish you all the best in the coming final exam. 

Specifically to my Testing and Evaluation in Education class. Huhuhu

I guess I'll not be meeting you guys next semester since most of you will start to attend classes for your major subjects.

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Save me: Happy 7th Anniversary!!!

*long sigh*

I know, it's not a good thing to sigh.
I just can't help it.
See, I have works to complete by this week.
But then, it seems like I lost my motivation.
Or maybe because am lazy to get things done.
Or maybe, maybe, because I have this laid back attitude when it comes to things like these.
Things will not get done until few hours or few days before they need to be completed.
I don't know. I just don't know.

Can someone just save me from all of these?

My mom always complained on these before especially when I was in high school. I was just too laid-back and did not push myself that enough to strive for the best. I have the brain, but not the attitude. My attitude depends on how I see things. If I feel it's crucial to get it done, I will always work it on to meet the best end. If I see thing in a way that, it's not something important, it'll be like, I'll get it done later.

This attitude thing.

It's such a problem. For me.

You see, I keep on coming back to this post and update it. Ideas don't come just like that. Am bad at expressing it too. I looked at the date on my desktop, and guess what???

Tomorrow will be the 7th year of Appaz's Place. Huhuhuhu
It has been seven years since my first post on the 13th April 2011. Huhuhuhuhu

Seven years of on-and-off relationship with this blog.
I changed the title few times, I changed the link twice. The older link of this blog before this was www.appazsplace.blogspot.com. I deleted my old blog and the link (and lost the old statistics. Ahahaha. The numbers of visitors on the old link before this was pretty good than the latest link), and created a new one (www.mzappa.blogspot.com which is the one am using now).

And massive thanks to my university buddy, Deideian, for introducing me to this platform. I used to write diaries before. I mean, a lot of diaries. I had more than three, and every year I would always write a new one. Damnit. Those were the times...

Writing things digitally and doing it traditionally are just totally different.

Seriously.
I always have things running on my mind which I express better when I have them written down.
When typing, ideas running away, not want to be expressed here. If it's too personal, I don't put them here. Some things are better to keep in private. More safe.
And there are things better to be written down here.
Why? Since I have no ideas on who are the people that come across this page.
So, I just don't mind it at all.
I don't know you, and you don't know me.
That's how things work for me when ever I post something in this blog.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

For me, it's just good to put things up here. There are times where I just search up for my old posts and read them. It makes me like, owh, I was like that before, I didn't know that. And sometimes, it makes me like, I shouldn't repeat the same things ever again, I could be better.
It's like a personal journal where I can always reflect on my self.

It's nothing much here, honestly.

I don't do review, I don't do post that are useful to other people. It just that, I do this for me. Just for my own pleasure. To accommodate my free times, to fill up the emptiness whenever I feel so... I guess it's just a real definition of doing whatever I want to do, depending on my time, whenever I want, whenever I feel like doing it...

It's a SATISFACTION and also a HAPPINESS.

Anyway, Happy 7th Anniversary, Appaz's Place!!!!

Such a lame, nerdy first post. And still the lame-ist until today.👆👆👆👆👆👆

*feeling meh*

Birthday celebration

We celebrated my nieces birthday in March and also my cousin's birthday in April. Don't know what else to type. Am just gonna update on photos of whatever happened since the end of March till this early April.

Happy birthday, Husna & Deeja!!

 

And then on the April 2nd, 2018, we celebrated my cousin's birthday

Happy birthday, cousin!

And both birthday cakes for nieces and cousin were bought from Mita Cake House. Loving their cakes since many many years ago. Whenever people from other parts of Sarawak or Malaysia come to Kuching, they always "tapau" butter cake from Mita. Seriously, there are all good. 

Since 1978

Mita Cake House

See what happened to the cake?

It showed that you have nephews running around in the house

Pomade - Drug Restaurant

I ordered the album on the 26th February.
I tracked the delivery. It was delivered.
OMG. Will update this again once I get the package.

Just Whatsapp my auntie. She confirmed the package is already at home, signed by my uncle.
OMG. I really wanted to have it, and now I really have one.

Oh gosh. Am nervous. I can't wait to unwrap the package.

It's here. Finally. This is totally a self-reward thing for me. Huhuhuhu
