Michelle a.k.a. Awkwardos

First glare sent me a quiet kitten
The one who studies hard all autumn
Stunned to bits with my wrong judgement
As she's quite a hipster, never a roman

Random phrases she habitually pops
Trying to make sure the fun never stops
Cute stuff and cats steal her tops
Nugget_Pancake and tons of lolipops

Brofist our way to 'Balalalala'
Bubba Babbu's I to her awesome mama
I suppose we're fated as awkward fellas
Somehow she reminds me of the husky, Mishka

Toothsome craving often we share
Yes, food's a priority only both of us bear
She's one in a million who plays the games fair
A really great friend I would refer too rare

Remember you handed me a meaningful letter?
In case you didn't know, it smiled me like Mad Hatter
Sorry this poem could be done so much better
Hope you love it, you crazy mustache mister!

Awkwardos - Gauche buddies! ;P

Mini Holiday Haul

Huge hello to you all fellow blog readers! It's been a long time, ain't it?

During the short period of hols, I actually spent more time than I expected rotting in my tiny dusty room than stepping out of the door, exploring the unseen spaces around me. Blaming it on my empty pockets (sobs). Does spamming 'Crossy Road' on my phone counts as productivity? If so, my holidays are supremely prolific.

Speaking bout 'Crossy Road', why the heck can't I win Pew Die Pug? #FanOfPewds

Well, mind all that negativity going on there, fortunately there are a few days where I get to stroll around the nearby malls just to satisfy my yearning eyes. It was cool, my cravings were pleased with a few bites of everything (what even) and I manage to get myself two little fashion needs!

Presenting you item number 1, here's a broad fit tee I got from F.O.S for only around $5. Would say that it's pretty 'ladylike' for a person like me.

'Wild Hears Can't Be Broken'

Second's an adorable purse walled with contrasting cats. I repeat, CATS. How can I not resist buying this billfold of overload kitty-ness? Got it for $13 from a street shop nearby the area.

Echoes of meows (=^‥^=)

Sorry I can't stop with the meows ヾ(=ﾟ･ﾟ=)ﾉ

If you peeps find this kind of post in your interest, let me know by leaving your comments below & I'll definitely write more for you guys aites! (also as an excuse to grab me more fashion needs heh) Feel free to comment for improvements too hey!


Wishing you all a fantastic back-to-school week!

Nedd a.k.a. BFF

A lady I wouldn't address
But a tigress in a dress
Her ideas so brave it's a mess
Sadly the shy in her is an ass

Her dimples mark her cool
Which I find not so true
She's so strong like a bull
Strength never used for cruel

Her food choice is my rage
So choosey I'd lock her in a cage
Although we share the same age
I believe she owns a younger page

Her worries settle on almost everything
She needs to keep calm and start singing
Her voice so good four chairs would swing
An imperfectly perfect package to be seen

Alas the down side lies on me
The friend who tried not hard enough to show her the world she foresees
I deeply hope she finds joy & glee
And live her dream like honey & bee.

15 year old cat-smiles. Ah, surely miss those junior times.

  Well, it counts though as she IS an inspiration. (written few months ago) -

Hoodie Perks

Hello there fellow beings!

Even though I snore in a country that has only summer ongoing for 24/7, hoodies are still my pick over tees. Such weird ain't I, sweating like a dog under the boiling sun in a winter hoodie. Well, there are actually perks of being hugged by one! At least perks I created and find acceptable..


1.  Hoodies curtail insecurity transiently.

Wearing an oversize one feels like a soft cuddle of warmth. Now you don't need a boyfriend to die for, just grab a Cookie Monster hoodie and look at the midnight stars alone (with a bowl of cookies, of course).

2.  Hoodies hide your flaws.

Afraid to show your bacon around your torso? Hoodies are no problem being its layer of dreamy mozzarella cheese! But wait a second, if you're sliding into a hoodie for this reason, please know that you're a beautiful human, there's no need to hide YOU. Imperfect perfections are still perfect.

Yes you are.

3.  Hoodies are the boss of rain.

When you're walking out from school with a bunch of friends and it's starts raining, just throw on your grey hoodie and run for shelter! The next glance you have on your friends, they're going to be soaking wet while you stand there waving with a crooked grin. Evil, I know.

Ngeheheh.

4.  Hoodies bring out your athletic chapter.

Who doesn't look sporty in a Nike hoodie? No one. You don't even need to perform strength training and jog five hours a day to look like a sport model, just do the cheat trick and you're good to go!

One of my dream hoodies.

5.  Hoodies are forever in trend.

At least in my world. Is it even possible for it to grow outdated? Hoodies own so many different types and genre, just mix & match a few styles to it and poof, the new fashion buzz is out!

Says no one ever!

6.  Also, hoodies hide marks you don't want the public to stare at.

Welp, for this one, you'll understand if you could relate. If you couldn't, don't worry you're good!

That's all for today. See you all soon aites, Alanis xx.

:D

Hoodie Salute!

Christina Grimmie's Twin!

Hey there fellow humans! Ever heard about the fabulous Christina Grimmie? You probably know her from her original YouTube channel 'zeldaxlove64' or from The Voice Season 6. Just in case you didn't know, I'm a huge 'frand' of her & part of #teamgrimmie!

Yu rawk, Grimmie!

Well, just found out that I could be her twin!

Grimmie Salute!

Hahah pardon my randomness. It sparked my head when I was taking a new profile picture for my YouTube channel with my favourite green-black headphones on. With a touch of the awesome Grimmie Salute, poof! I call it the 'Grimmie Transformation'!

Welp, terribly sorry for exposing the random side of me. Love you all <3

To My 12 Year Old Self

To my 12 year old self,

Why did you care about how others view you so much? Are you really boastful, arrogant, selfish? You were always special in your way, your extraordinary thoughts, those were amazing, you know. If you actually executed things like how you want them to be, there wouldn't be so many regrets tailing you like kites right now.

Must you really perform the mistakes others did on you just to neutralise the pain? Yes you were harshly bullied every single day in school, but does bullying other weaker kids makes you stronger? I don't think so. It's erroneous to express your silent agony in such an awful way. Watching other kids cry only exhort you to cry with them as you feel their torment, despair. What you should do is pick up your recorder from the trash can & use it to whack your bullies in the face. Blood may be present, but it's still better than sobbing at the corner of the class, trust me.

Oh and don't be such a rebel! I understand you hate to tie your hair every day before school & do assignments from teachers you detest, but you are a student in a good school, Alanis. Follow the freaking school rules, it's not that hard! Plus you won't believe this, but that rebellious trait of you didn't do any good in high school either. I guess I shouldn't be the one obeying rules, but creating them. (Still not an excuse alright.)

Was it too tough to volunteer for speeches & competitions? Don't be sheepish! You know you're born with an extrovert personality, so make good use of it! You dreamt so long for that story-telling competition, but in the end you just threw it to a friend because you were afraid? Come on, don't lack that self-confidence you're gifted with! Just because a horrible incident occurred that crushed your courage when you were younger, doesn't mean you'll always stuck being that way, right? If you didn't own such poor self-reliance, I bet you would had started your YouTube career when you were 10. See all the remorse?

Well, at least you tried your best being you, 12 year old self. I'm truly proud of you, and I appreciate what you'd done for your own future. Merci beaucoup ;)

HA. HA. HA.

Letter of Complaint by a Werewolf..?

Hey there! Today in school my English teacher assigned us to write a letter of complaint about broken school facilities & stuff, which is a really boring essay. But guessed what? I'd do whatever it takes to make things fun. So teacher, you're messing with the wrong person. (Nah I just do things my way)

So here's the change, I tried to follow the rules and wrote the letter, but about a school I would love to be in. Read on!

WV 42000.

Dear Madam,

Fierce Complaints About School's Troubles

Before I begin to blabber my unsatisfactions about the school's imperfections, my name is Alanis from the 1st Werewolf Academy. The reason why I urged myself to write this unpleasant letter is because the school's currently in disaster. I certainly believe that due to the reason above, my schoolmates and I aren't able to focus in our academics, so it should be classified as an enormous issue by the school. I hope you tame your short-term patience and read this letter of complaint before burning it into ashes (like the ones Tara sent in last week).

2.  First of all, I would start with the serious problem all Vampires and Hybrids suffer since the week before. It is ridiculously obvious that our blood cafeteria owns an insufficient amount of human juice. Every evening when Logan and I head there, we were forced to share only a bag of Grade C blood. Despite its low-grade's watery and blank taste, we had to suck it all up as it's hardly enough for both of us (Logan's a big drinker, you know). I hardly see the cause of this happening. Aren't the Peckers doing their job, draining the humans' blood? Don't tell us the humans had ran out of blood, we study human anatomy too, madam. We're not fools.

3.  Secondly, there is a terrible issue about trespassers in the school. Not to mention than Hybrids often trespass into the Vampire's lair as they look awfully alike to them, but humans! Our academy spotted some of them sneaking across Radmier's Park last Wednesday, they were even armed with tazers and silver arrows. Danger is right in front of us, madam! I suggest that we could set up an anti-human force field around the school. With that, we get to murder humans in large numbers and also gain more fresh red juice for the blood cafeteria! It's like killing two birds with one stone!

4.  Besides that, don't you think that the Vampires fall asleep in class lately? This is caused by the thinning of the sun barrier upon the school. Science fact: Vampire feel sleepy when they are exposed to mild sunlight, but direct sunlight could kill them. Therefore, it is a slow pace of suicide for the Vampires if this condition continues. My Vampire buddy, Nedd always complains to me about her drowsiness even though she glugged a whole glas of caffeinated blood. It doesn't feel good watching your buddy go through the pain, you know.

5.  Next, I suspect one-sided training sessions in the Wereworld Academy. Through my one month's observation, I can tell that the Pro-Weres are putting more heart into training capable Werewolves than the average ones. This causes the average werewolves to isolate themselves and never improve their skills. Worse, the capable ones started to bully them as the average ones are weak and could't fight back. Soon, war will happen if the Pro-Weres don't change!

Last of all, I would like to remind you that these issues should be taken seriously and not just forgotten in the fire. Also, I would like to thank you for reading this letter till its end without tearing it to pieces. My appreciation for that. My wishes to the school solving these horrible problems!

All hail Werevamps!

Sincerly with blood and moon,

Alanis Von Paws

Secretary of the 1st Werewolf Academy

Full moon!

Yup that's all I suppose! The reason I wanna share this here is because after my teacher marked my letter, I'm pretty sure it would be covered with red slashes & underlines till I won't able to read my original text again. Teachers don't like us messing with the rules, but hey come on, it's original alright! 

Dying for a Man's Best Friend

I know I'm extraordinary in a way, but it's weird. My whole life I dream to have a man's best friend. A pup, a dog, or even a cat. It's a creature I would die to have as I was always that left out guy, that isolated friend at the front of the class while everyone hides at the back. Worse is I thought I was over with it, but currently my frequency of feelings just went wildfire, for reasons I don't even know.

It sounds like crap but I really feel like I own no friend in a universe I don't mean to belong. Of course I have friends, but to be honest, everyone knows that most friends are just 'surface friends' that look cool on the outside, but rarely had a conversation with. Well I myself don't give a damn about surface friends 'cause why? Why waste your caring soul to look cool & popular on the outside? I seriously don't get why, and I rather own a soul partner that both sides care & love each another.

Head bump!

Yes it's random I started on this crazy topic, but I couldn't stand it any longer. Many friends of mine may not know this, but I was "gifted" a true hatred for gossips & stupid chats. If hate's not the word, then tired it is. Because these awful chats bring me to nowhere but pointless enthusiasm & sometimes anxiety. Plus it doesn't benefit anyone, so why should I join? But don't get me wrong, of course I would lend an ear if it was from someone who really matters, someone who's worth my listen (my bff's an excellent example). Back to the ones who gossip everyday in class, is that what your life's full of? I don't mind telling you, it annoys me every single day, and I don't join them since I woke up from being an underdog or some sidekick, officially done being one.

My family never understood why I wanted a pup so much, that much till I can look at dogs through their viewing panels in pet shops for an hour; that much till I could risk myself & try to bond with growling street dogs. Because to me, it's something I needed the most. I lack sociality, an output to express myself, self-love & stability. I don't ask for much but just a man's best friend, you're telling me that's too much? They think I just want one to play with it whenever I feel like to, and then dump it back to the cage when I don't have time for it, which is one of the things I couldn't stand when pet owners do that. Even worse, pointing fingers at me predicting that I would do that to a dog? It's hurtful as heck, ain't am I already hurt enough?

Soldier companions are the warmest ones.

Still, at the end, I believe no one is going to get this. My love for animals is that enormous & my need for it ain't a millimetre tinier than it either. Guess I gotta wait till I have my own house when I'm bigger. Though I doubt that I can even touch that stage of life.

Trip to Melaka

Hey! Today was an exhausting one as I just came back from a one day road trip from two different states in Malaysia - Melaka & Negeri Sembilan! I went to Melaka to attend my cousin's wedding somewhere in Merlimau, and Negeri Sembilan was an unexpected one, just went to check out the resorts & beaches there. Tiring, I would say!

Before heading to my couz's wedding, my family & I went for a short walk around the Stadthuys and A'Famosa. The atmosphere there was pretty cool as I love world history (well except my country's..) so the British-ish monuments & signed contracts kept me excited & interested while my brother drowned in boredom. Somewhere near the Stadthuys, there was also a Dinosaur statue out of nowhere which I was so obsessed with, and of course we became close friends (I even named him Milo).

Don't we look alike, Milo?

And usually tourists would pose for pictures or observe the monument when they reach A'Famosa, right? Well, this is what I do when I first see the monument. Pardon the Paws.

Is this loaded? No? Boo :(

Later, we went to Jonker Street just to look around for five minutes (eyyyy poor time planning). We were shock to see a lot of people lining up in front of what seems to be an old-looking restaurant, turns out it's the famous authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant! Argh too bad we don't have time for this Melaka's delicacy. But at least I found something that made my day just right after I left the restaurant! Bet you can't guess it, IT'S A CUTE ORANGUTAN WALL PAINT! Surprisingly it's from a cafe, all cafes should have something like this!

Y U SO CUTE YOU NEED A KISS 

After the tough time leaving Milo & the cute monkey, I proceeded to my cousin's wedding. Nothing to say about it though, I barely know the people there. Hmm, I guess the food's pretty delicious? (Yup food's the only thing I care) The awkward chats with unknown relatives went horrible as I didn't really had the mood to tolerate their egoistic brags of their kids scoring good results in school or getting a job or whatsoever. Luckily I brought along a book to keep me company.

3 hours later, our family left the crowd & drove off the scene. Since it was still early, we decided to head to Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan to check out the resorts & beaches for our upcoming vacation plan. So we went. My butt had to deal with sitting in the car for two hours straight, it sort of became numb (too much details, woops). When we reached PD, we visited two resorts - Avillion & Thistle to check out the rates & environment. While the adults do their thing, my bro & I ran to the beach to entertain ourselves. I shouldn't had wore skinny jeans today, they got awfully wet from sea water..

Forever alone.

After having a finger-licking seafood dinner, we went straight back home at 7pm. In the car, I tried to persuade my mom that it'll be super late when I reach home so it's better if I skip school tomorrow to study for the test this Tuesday. Unfortunately, I got grounded pretty badly and end up needing to skip TV time tomorrow. Yikes! I shouldn't had say that..

So this is how my one day trip went. Hope it'll be more time-organised next time so we could visit more places and actually reach home early for school tomorrow. (All the excuses, I'm actually staying up writing this blog right now) Aites I better hit the sack before the sack hits me! Goodbye! :)

Cookies For Sale!

Well since I'm not working before my trip to America, I decided to make a few bucks by selling homemade cookies to the neighbourhood. (I just can't stand not being productive while the peeps around me are killing it!)

Hand-coloured flyers with cookie monster!

I'm selling three flavours which are Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter & Coffee. Well I would recommend Peanut Butter as it's my family's favourite. (Yum yum in the tum) And it's only 4 bucks for 10 cookies! So why think about it? Just go ahead & send me that email!

Do take note that orders can only be placed from 17 November till 24 November. Delivery dates are 20 November to 26 November because I'll be flying at 28, sorry for the short time period! To order, just email your house address, type & amount of cookies, and the delivery date to pawslikeaboss@gmail.com and your fresh cookies will soon be dancing its way to your house! Way easier than ordering pizza.

Hope you'll pitch in your support & I promise to satisfy your tastebuds with my signature homemade cookies! :D

Weekend Break

Just gonna be a short one featuring how I sometime spend my weekends. :)

Previously my garden was in a small renovation to sprite up the view & finally, it's ready! So today my family & I decided to have our afternoon tea at our 'cafe corner' in the garden. Mom bought 2 slices of Secret Recipe's cakes & I spice things up with a few light tea snacks I usually make. Warm fuzzy family feels.

Creme Brulee Cheese & Chocolate Banana (Left)
Coffee biscotti & mocha chiffon bites (Right)

Feels great to have the weekend well spent with the family. ;)

Back To Comics

Few days ago I have no idea why, but I started to think about my future, my careers & grown up stuff. Weird. And I look at my friends, most of them had their future perfectly planned, their grades are terribly good & all. Me? Sitting on the couch all day, snacking snicker bars & stuck myself with my macbook, not even knowing what am I searching for. Yup I needa go get Mr. Productivity back.

When I was in my first year in high school, I drew & sold comics to my friends. Unexpectedly it was a great hit, I earned 150 bucks for each episode (I sold 3). Suddenly I got bored of it & I stopped, even leaving a 'to be continued' story from episode 3 in the middle of nowhere. Sorry to those who waited!

Well, I'm now starting to draw them again (Yayyyy) but this time it's gonna be a little different. Ditching the long kiddy fantasy tales, I heading for short comics. You know, the four-boxes-kind-of type. It took some time for inspirations to get to me, but surprisingly it's doing fine so far. :)

Unfinished comics with sketches.

Finished comics!

My draft book (I bring it with me wherever I go so I won't miss the chance when inspiration hits me!)

So that's basically how my comics are done. It's definitely time-consuming, but seeing the outcome of it is one of the best feelings ever! After I finished quite a number of them I'll start selling them again, hoping for the best! Comment if you want the comics posted here, no worries I'm fine by that! (Depends on the amount of demands I receive) :P
