Faith. Love. Hope.

Countdown: 4days

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:03:00 +0000

At 2100hours, 15th December 2009, I will be back. (:

I’m a Sherlock Holmes in the Making

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:17:00 +0000

Goodbye

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:01:00 +0000

And the day has finally come.

I really don't want to go but I'm slowly but surely coming to terms that in less than 5 hrs, I will be on that plane leaving to the UK.

On the bright side, I'll be back in Dec, 79days to be exact. Yes, I counted. I haven't even left and I'm already looking forward to coming back home. Ish.

I'm gonna miss you so much. :(

5, 4, THREE, 2, 1

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:29:00 +0000

I'm trying to make the best of these last few days I have left here with you.

And it's truly been amazing. If only it didn't have to end.

Less than 3 days to go..

On a sidenote: Will be moving to another site soon.

5, FOUR, 3, 2, 1

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:28:00 +0000

I wish I had this remote control which could control time. Now, wouldn't that be something.

Right now, I'd really like to hit the pause button because time is passing by way too fast.

I'm not the slightest bit excited to go to London. In fact, I'm not even looking forward to it.

Right now, I'm at a phase where life is pretty much perfect and I don't want to move on.

SIGH.

Eight

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:21:00 +0000

I've got eight days left. That's way too little time. :(

I wish I had eight months instead. That would be nice.

Victim À la Mode

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:24:00 +0000

Calling all fashion enthusiasts! Keep your calendars free this 19th of September because something BIG is happening.

For the first time ever, HELP University College and SML Fashion Academy are collaborating to present Victim a la Mode; a fashion showcase featuring a stellar host of designers!

This includes well known brand name, Giordano's latest Spring/Summer collection for both the men and the ladies.

And of course if you know who's who in the local fashion scene, the name Rebellz would definitely be familiar. Designers Ju and Jean bring to you their latest spicy collection which will surely not disappoint.

And of course, SML's very own band of talented designers are set to introduce their awesome looks! Justyne, Angelica Wai Hseang, Michael Loke, Kimmy Siow, Younghiang Lim, Ivy Wong, ChingXChing and Amy just can't wait to show off what they're capable of.

I've saved the best for last here. Last year I blogged about m-ifw and an amazing new designer who I'm fortunate enough to call my friend. Everybody, say "HI" to Ms. Julia Leong!

Last year, she bagged the Best Casual Designer at the m-ifw which believe me is no small achievement. She's also made herself a MODA Malaysia's Young Designer Competition Finalist as well as a Triumph Inspiration Award finalist.

Not to mention a little birdie told me that Julia's been invited to showcase her collection at this year's m-ifw for the Ten Rising Stars. Impressed yet?

Well, pictures speak a thousand words so here's some pictures for you to feast your eyes on!

Still not impressed? Well, make sure you come down to the Mist Club to witness firsthand the awesomeness that is Julia Leong. :)

For more event details, head on over the the event's Facebook page.

Bye Bye

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:43:00 +0000

So, blogging has once again lost its appeal.

It took a little longer this time round, just a month over a year, but yeah..this is the end (I think).

I am simply not cut out to be a blogger. Bummer..

Since this will be the last probably be the post, it's gonna be pretty wordy.

I turned 19 just yesterday; 24th of August. I had a lovely birthday; a great dinner at Sage, two yummy cakes and the best company I could ask for. Thank you, all of you, for the birthday wishes and the birthday presents (my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet is now complete).

I still haven't gotten over the fact that I'm a Maxis scholarship recipient (I have a huge ass poster of myself hanging in my room which serves as a constant reminder) and not forgetting my results. AAAA baaaaaaby! I is nerd. 8)

In exactly 1month, I'll be heading off to the UK. London to be exact. LSE to be precise. So all my UK readers, lucky you! Rachel Heah is coming to town. :)

So until then, bye bye.

Hell YEAH!

And this be the reason for my hiatus.

Took a trip down south to our neighbours, Singapore along with Carmen and Sheryl to watch Lady Gaga who is simply amazing. Next post will be all about her.

Decided to be tourists for 4whole days.

4whole days filled with shopping and eating. Oh yeaaaaaah. (:

Our Zoo Adventure

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 03:40:00 +0000

In an attempt to fill our holidays with something out of the ordinary, we ventured to none other than our very own Zoo Negara. (:

Despite the complaints we've heard about how;
#1 The whole place stinks (which was pretty true)
#2 The animals look half dead (which was kinda true as well)
we decided to go ahead with our little adventure.

So, what did I learn from my trip to the zoo?

Camels have loose lips which waggle when they chew.

Otters are attention seekers lacking personal hygiene - they stink!

Sea lions eat more than me.

Monkeys are natural bullies.

Sure my face was in a perpetual grimace thanks to the stink of animal poop but I still had a great time.

Perhaps I shall visit the Singapore Zoo when I head down next week. (:

Hennessy Artistry

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:55:00 +0000

If you guys were under the impression that all I did last weekend was waste away at the ASD bazaar, you're dead wrong!

Because I was out partying with my girls; Debs, Pik and Belle at the biggest artistry event of the year!

And thanks to the fact that I'm a Bukit Kiara member, we had awesome parking (not along the highway far far away). Though we did have to keep our eyes peeled for horse poop on the ground.

Now, I've seen how the indoor arena normally looks so I was pretty impressed with what the people at Hennessy did to it.

Since we bloggers are such special people, we had this area all to ourselves ie. Zone S where S stands for special. (:

Of course, what Hennessy event is complete without free flow of alcohol?

My drink of the night? Hennessy + Apple Juice. With a straw. (:

Decided to tone down on the alchohol. Didn't wanna turn out looking like a lobster in my pictures. Hehe.

And so, I got to catch One Buck Short, Dominique Tsai, The Homies, DJ Camilo and Fatman Scoop live on stage.

One Buck Short were pretty good. It seems there is hope for the local music scene. (:

I wasn't really feeling it when Dominique Tsai took center stage with the Homies. Blame it on the fact that I'm Chinese illiterate.

But Fatman Scoop was amazing. He really brought the crowd to live with his performance. Got a couple of videos I have yet to upload.

A Shopaholic's Den v2.0 Launch

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:52:00 +0000

Guess who'll be spending their weekend at the ASD v2.0 launch bazaar over at 3 Two Square?

Duh, me. (:

So do drop by to support Colour Me Pretty at Booth36.

Click here for more details of the event including maps etc.

Let's Bowl!

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:58:00 +0000

Managed to drag to guys and girls out bowling last night. They finally gave in (I've been bugging them to go for a month). Heehee.

It's been ages since I last bowled and I pretty much suck right now.

Scoring nearly 30 points less than my average is very very disappointing. Bah.

And yes, bowling is hazardous to pretty nails

MTV World Stage Roadshow

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:22:00 +0000

Last year, Malaysia played host to the MTV Asia Awards. This year, Malaysia will play host to the MTV World Stage. How fortunate we are. (:

Of course, events like these are always exclusive. Tickets can't be bought, they have to be earned.

This year, I landed the job as the Youth Ambassador of HELP for the MTV World Stage Campus Street team. Lucky lucky me. (:

My job was simple; recruit teams to participate in the campus pre-party.

So here's what happened at HELP's campus pre-party.

Eating competition: Bananas & Coke with one hand only

Everybody do the limbo!

Apple bobbing; a very wet affair

Fashion show: Toilet rolls, garbage bags and aluminium foil creations

Eating competition: Durians with a fork and spoon

Including an amazing performance by The Mosh Pitters with Sheryl on the "drums", Carmen on the "guitar" and Sze on the mic. Video will be uploaded in due time. (:

Meanwhile, go vote for their entry over here. Gogogogogogogo!

And what did I get out of all this? EXCLUSIVE MOSH PIT TICKETS! And a free shirt plus cash. (:

Our Bangkok Invasion

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 14:28:00 +0000

Lack of updates for the past few days was because this blogger was on holiday. (:

And where else but my home away from home, the city of Bangkok.

I love going to Bangkok. Firstly (and mainly) because of the shopping and secondly (probably lastly too) because of the food.

Spent almost the whole trip at Platinum and all my money as well.

In fact, I overoveroverspent. Changed all my ringgit after exhausting the baht and then borrowed even more baht from the rest. *sigh*

Good Shopping + Good Food + Good Company = Good Trip. It's as simple as that.

The latest fashion thanks to H1N1

The Platinum Fashion Mall; shopping heaven

Suan Lum Night Market

From 12 o' clock: Deb, Pik, yours truly and Gan

Best orange juice in the world, for a small fee of RM2

Made a new friend; Mr. Giant Naked White Statue who's missing certain manly parts

Simply called "Fried Seafood in Hot Plate"

I've kinda lost my blogging mojo so it's pretty much a struggle for me to write out this post.

Head on over to Deb's blog for a more detailed post if you're interested alright? :)

And more pictures up on Facebook as usual.

And this is what I brought home with me

Hennessy Artistry

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 10:51:00 +0000

It's been hardly over a month and yet another Hennessy Artistry party is happening in town.

And the line up for the final installment for the year 2009 is.. *drumroll*

Lil Jon, Fatman Scoop, Lumisense, Dominique Tsai, Homies, One Buck Short, DJ Mr Sam and DJ Milinka are set to bring down the house.

Where? The Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club.
When? 25th of July (just 13 days to go!)

Hennessy Artistry; one massive party.

H1N1

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:46:00 +0000

Finally got the parents to give in and take me to the hospital for the H1N1 test.

For all you strangers out there who know nothing about what's going on in my life apart from what you read here, one of my friends who just got back from UK tested positive over the weekend.

So, I saw her (before she tested positive mind you). We talked a little, hugged a little, so basically there was contact.

And then I developed the symptoms.

Sore throat, cough, fever, headaches and joint aches.

Ironically enough, the only missing symptom was the flu itself.

Ever the optimist, I decided it couldn't be swine flu and that I'd be as right as rain in a few days.

Pfft. Right as rain. Apparently not.

A Red Carpet Affair

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:48:00 +0000

I swear, ball preparations are a pain especially for us girls.

Guys get it easy. All they need to worry about is their suit and shirt, sometimes tie.

Us girls on the other hand have to worry about our dress, our hair, our make up, our heels, our clutch, our etc. etc. etc. Ma fan betul.

But I guess all that effort (and money spent!) is worth it when you turn out all gorgeous.

Two days ago, HELP's A-Levels Annual Ball was held at Sunway Resort & Spa.

Compared to last years ball, the turn out was amazing. In terms of entertainment, this years ball triumphed as well.

However, the food was horrible. The prawns in the starter weren't fresh at all, the pumpkin soup was watered down, the chicken was so dry and the dessert, well, I'm not a fan of bananas so it didn't appeal to me.

All that aside, I did have a good time. (:

Not enough pictures? There's plenty more on Facebook. (:

The End

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:49:00 +0000

Just hours ago, I sat for my final A-levels paper.

And just like that, I'm done with college.

I know time flies but to think that one and a half years has already come and gone is kinda unbelievable. Like seriously, wow.

So here I am, with 3 whole free months ahead of me. Oh joy.

And on a completely unrelated note, Transformers was pretty darn awesome. Much thanks to Nuffnang for the premiere passes. (:

I Can't Get Enough of Transfomers

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:04:00 +0000

[edit] And the tickets are mineminemine. (:

Here I am today blogging about yet another Nuffnang Premiere.

This time round, they've got passes to the hottest movie of the year; Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

And despite being right before my crucial FP3 paper, I AM SO DESPERATE TO GO WATCH THE AUTOBOTS KICK SOME DECEPTICON BUTT!

So desperate in fact that I'm posting this unbelievably incredibly embarrassing video up.

To hell with my dignity! *runs away and hides*

OHMYGOD, I sound like a frog. Scratch that, I sound like a toad!

A toad who really really really can't get enough of Transformers. :)

Ps. That miserable attempt was in fact based on (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones.

I is Stressed

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:20:00 +0000

[edit] Just got a call from Maxis. Scholarship interview next Monday. Ugh.

So, I'm in the midst of my final right now (2 down, 8 more to go!) and something popped up which has probably increased my stress levels by a tenfold.

I've been shortlisted for the Bank Negara scholarships which pretty much determines my future at LSE or not.

And it's on Thursday, right between Physics 5 and Econs 6.

Eeep.

HELP Sports Carnival

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Heah) — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:48:00 +0000

Yes, I do realise I'm in the midst of my exams with a whooping total of 9papers to go but I couldn't say no to playing for the A-Levels team one last time.

And in case you didn't know, I play netball. Only like one of the most awesome sports in the world yo! Yeaaah, I'm pretty passionate about it.

Pity being passionate isn't enough to take home the gold medal. ):

We lost by a point to the team we beat by a point last year; our arch nemesis ECONS, thus ending the A-Level's winning streak.

SIGH. Too bad there's no next year to take revenge. Rawr.
