Crazy host family

Would you be angry after you heard your roommate was taken advantage of?Of course you will!One of the dudes which I will name as Dude A, actually started hugging and kissing her the next morning after 1 night of partying in a club where he started touching her too. Dude,seriously if you just want to have sex with her then say it instead of playing with her feelings. She moved out after I moved out cause she couldn't stand it anymore.

I even have a Facebook argument with Dude A cause he was questioning me on why was I so concern about her?Stupid egoistic men and that's not the worst part. What he said next, was so rude that I swear if I ever see him, I will throw him to the cannibals, wait that's not bad enough, oh well, it'll do.

He actually said this and I quote, "but generaly asian people likes screw,why chinese populatıon ıs very high". He wants to improve his English but I think he should keep it that way, it's so 'funny'. Another quote from the animal himself, "I claım that you and every asıans lıke sex".

He actually said ASIANS.So you tell me, if you will not feel pissed after someone said that to you(if you look at it in the correct use of English)?

Anyway,I thought I will not have to step into that house anymore but I was so wrong. I left a shoe bag under the bed and I only realized it after a week. I was so worried and I kept bugging my buddy, Akin to help me get my shoes back for the entire day after finding out and at first I couldn't tell him why cause he would kill me.

So why was the shoe bag so important that I just have to get it back? No, it's not because it's an expensive shoes or anything, it only cost me RM40 for those shoes. It's because I left my travel allowance inside that bag, all my survival money. Told Akin,the amount, he was like 0_0!!!Then he started to call for back-up in case Dude A wants to throw something at me if he sees me. The entire time,I was praying that they did not find my shoe bag before me and thank all the gods, they didn't and the money was still there. Thank all the gods that Dude A was not there when I went to get it back. I would have ninja-kick his balls if I see him.

Also my dear family did not know anything about this, if they do, they would have killed me through the phone or Skype.

 

Anya, who became one of my closest friends when I was there, said I was the most entertaining person/ Malaysian she has ever met. She couldn't stop laughing after I told her about the shoes and she stills remembers it until today and teases me whenever she gets the chance. She's gonna take that story back to Poland and make sure everyone she knows, will know about the "Malaysian girl and her shoes" story. I miss her a lot, couldn't get to say a proper 'Goodbye!' before she left to travel around Turkey. We used to hang out after work and watch 'The Big Bang Theory' together on her laptop and she got me into 'Pretty Little Liars' too.Hopefully, I get the chance to go to Poznan, Poland to see her again!

One day,we went to check out this cafe near our workplace and I get to try Turkish coffee for the first time, thank god there was sugar or else I would have not be able to drink it. Didn't know that you're not suppose to stir the coffee cause the coffee sands(don't know the correct term) will be spread around.

Yes,I used a straw cause they don't provide spoons and yes,it is like an espresso size-wise and taste-wise too. After finishing the liquid parts,you can actually read your fortune from the coffee sands or get someone who knows how to do it,to do it for you or else it's all just lies to make you happy.

Ate baclava!!!OMG ITS SO GOOD!!!IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU MUST EAT BEFORE YOU DIE!!!

Then, we got free desserts from a waitress cause she thought I was very pretty. Thank you lady! You certainly made my life better after what I went through before!

There's so much more to say but I gotta go!Will continue to share my Turkey experience to you guys soon cause I finished my semester already that's why, I am blogging again!YAYER!!!

I went missing cause I was in ANKARA,TURKEY!

When I was visiting Efes,Izmir.

I know it has been ages but I am back and I flew to Ankara after 1 week of finishing my 2nd semester! So I was rushing to pack and to settle the flights and the AIESEC people from Ankara are so unsure of everything that it just delayed my decision to fly to Ankara also. Parents didn't want me to go cause they are so unorganized and they think Turkey is more Muslim-like compared to Malaysia which is SO NOT TRUE!Everything just passed like a whirlwind and now I am already back in Malaysia!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY x INFINITY MISS TURKEY!!!T_T.I get so nostalgic and sad when I think about all the wonderful experiences I had there with so many wonderful people!So let me share my awesome possum experiences with you all now before I lose my memory which is highly unlikely cause it was too awesome to forget especially the bumps along the way.

Just so you know that I am going to Ankara for an internship with AIESEC called 'Myself,My World' and I was there for 6 weeks and my job was to work in that summer camp project organized by AIESEC Ankara.The project's purpose was so different once I got there compared to what it has stated in the agreement form,for example, I thought it was going to be a more teaching environment but that didn't happen.Basically,we,interns are there to encourage the high school students there to speak English and also help them to improve their English.What happened was they had no schedule planned at all so most of the activities are impromptu and basically stuff for the high school kids to play so that they won't be bored.

So I left Nasi Lemak Land aka Malaysia at the end of May. The first disaster that I have to go through when I reached Ankara's airport is that no one was there to pick me up so bad first impression of the AIESEC Ankara people.IT WAS SO SCARY CAUSE NO ONE WAS THERE TO PICK ME UP AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I AM TRAVELING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY ALL ON MY OWN!Luckily,Perinaz,a really nice Iranian student there that actually used my luggage to hold her bag then I talked to her and asked for help.Also thank the gods that she spoke English!So she and her boyfriend who was so sweet to pick her up from the airport actually helped me so much,they went on the bus with me and told me which station to drop off and actually waited until the people from AIESEC Ankara came to pick me up.

So the three people who came to pick me up on the first day are by far,one of the nicest Turkish people I have met and I will never forget them.Their names are Tutku,Idil and Fatih.

Tutku who loves dancing a lot,literally and Gamolly who is my first Egyptian friend who happens to be the most randomly awesome person I have ever met.XD

Idil the beautiful red hair girl and Andreea,my lovely Romanian friend.

Fatih who had to carry my very heavy about 29kg luggage up and down stairs and through traffic and still is my friend.Hahaha,I miss them all!

I was assigned to live with 2 male university students along with Katrina,a unique Chinese girl from China.It was so awkward cause I never lived in a dude's apartment and I had to live with 2 dudes and it was only my first day in Ankara and I expected a proper host family which consists of a mum,a dad and kids so another mistake by AIESEC Ankara.My desire to fly back to Malaysia became stronger,like anymore crappy things happened to me,I will just take the bus to the airport and go home cause the entire family back home was worried and kept asking me to go back if there's anything wrong.

So the dudes which I will name as Dude 1 and Dude 2 brought us to have dinner cause I was starving and it was really late when I arrived so my first meal in Ankara was Kofte.It's like a beef meatball but saltier.It was ok.

I think this was Kunefe,a sweet dessert made with cheese!

Some green chillies to go with the Kofte.

Then they took us to visit the huge mosque close to their apartment.It is called the Kocatepe Mosque.

It was so pretty at night!

The dudes managed to get us permission to enter the mosque and we had to cover our hair with a scarf before entering.

The kitchen

Thankfully,Katrina and I share a room to ourselves but for some reasons,the 2 dudes just gave me the bad vibes.It is like my guts are telling me to give a few days and if it is still there then move out ASAP.I moved out after 3 days of staying there.Why you ask?

Reason 1:They are hospitable but not so cause you gotta get ya own food or else there's no food provided.
Reason 2:They are boys so they make my messed up room seemed cleaner for once.
Reason 3:I felt left out and I think it is because they prefer Katrina cause she talks more,therefore helping them to 'improve' their English.Dude,I was helping too by correcting your English.Not my fault that you have a big ego and a short temper and you just ignore me.
Reason 4:They live far away from the office and the only way we can get to the office was by taxi and its BLOODY EXPENSIVE to use the taxi everyday!I have a budget to survive with for 6 weeks so no way I am gonna use it all cause of transportation.

Moving out was the best decision I have made since I landed because what happened a week later was the so terrible that I had to tell you about it in the next post so toodles for now!

CAKE POPS!

I may seem outdated but today I finally tried the Cake Pops that is offered in the Starbucks Coffee Cafe in my university and they are having a promotion starting from 10th March that you can get 1 Cake Pop for free with every purchase of the Cocoa Cappuccino drink.

I rather spend RM11.80 for a Tall Cocoa Cappuccino Drink and get the Cake Pop for free than buying the Cake Pop on its own which cost RM6 which is not really worth it for a small ball of cake on a stick.

My Cocoa Cappuccino and Birthday Cake which is just vanilla cake covered with pink colored chocolate with small beads of icing sugar.I prefer this flavour than the Chocolate flavoured one cause its not too rich.

Jaclyn with her Chocolate Rock.Its just chocolate cake covered with chocolate with small bits of marshmallows and peanuts.

 This is to show you the texture of the cake which is moist.


 By the way,I finally found my old The Click Five album!Its when Eric Dill was still in the group and 'Catch Your Wave' was such a hit!XD.Their DNA and signature is still intact!YAY!XD

Why choose that name?

Since the parking situation in Taylor's University can be epic,I choose to reach college around 7.30a.m. everyday so that I can have a decent parking space in the basement but obviously reaching early has it cons too.For example,you'll be the only one there among your friends and the library is not open yet so you can't spam people's walls on Twitter or even use the giant screen Mac PC which I am currently using right now.I still can't reverse park my car cause I worry if I try doing it,I might knock into someone's car or block an oncoming car.I need someone to be in the car with me when I try to reverse park for the 1st time in months.

I'm suppose to read some readings for my Media Literacies course right now but I shall procrastinate by blogging instead of reading!I'll read those reading later or else I'll lose my blogging mood.

I don't think I have ever blog about why my bloglink is called velvettears13 so now I will tell you how on earth I got that name and why that number.

Its called velvettears13 because I had a liking to gothic things when I was in my early years in high school so I went to some gothic name generator website and the name Velvet Tears came out so I just took it from there and I think the name is pretty cool!I put the number 13 beside the name because its my favourite number though its known to be a bad luck number in many cultures but I still like this number and I think I was 13 when I started blogging.

Anyway,the title of my blog is Sweet Temptation because I love sweets and desserts that are sweet and they are very tempting and I just discovered a Victoria's Secret fragrance with that name and its smells awesome too but sadly it has been discontinued and so I can't buy it anymore.T_T.The sub-title of my blog is just a small quote from the movie 'Forrest Gump' which I think is really inspiring to me but maybe I'll change it since it has been there for years.

I'm still thinking of ideas of a new header for my blog and I have a pretty simple and no need to use photoshop way of doing one but hopefully it goes well and you can see it soon!Now I shall go meet Ayesha at Starbucks so ciao!

Late gifts are better than no gifts.

If you're being materialistic but to me its the thought of my friends who sacrifice their time and their cash in their purses just to get me gifts,that matter.It shows that they do care and remember about you though you haven't seen each other in months.

I forgotten to post this up in the Lolita Tea Party Post.Aiko gave all of girls who attended the tea party this small gift which is a Hello Kitty sweet and a small crochet flower which she has made herself.I will go and learn how to crochet during my next break which is in June.

It was raining so the picture looks dark and it was taken using Pinky(my phone).Jaclyn gave me the camera necklace and Ayesha gave me a pair of earrings and a silver bangle which was inside that super cute elephant bag that could be my new pencil case or make-up bag!XD

Luckily the bangle was not really lose so I can wear it to 'unplain(TM)' a plain outfit.Ayesha said the earrings reminds her of me...-_-lll.I find it really hard to make decisions in almost everything.

Stage sucks!The workers I mean.

Last week,I went to Mid Valley with Emily and my cousin,Crystal cause I have to use my Stage voucher which entitles me to get a free make-up session and an instant photo too and it was gonna expire by the end of January.At the same time,Emily can take some pictures of the make-up artist for her assignment.Before we go to Stage,we have to feed ourselves cause we were starving so we went to try out this new restaurant called Gardens Lifestyle Restaurant.It is located near the walkway that connects Mid Valley to The Gardens Shopping Centre.You won't miss it cause it is a beautifully decorated restaurant,all-white with flowers and even a staircase!

So all three of us ordered the Lunch sets they have and for drinks,we could choose between Coffee or Ice Lemon Tea.3 of us chose Ice Lemon Tea of course.Damn,I forgotten to steal the rose stirrer!

The lunch set comes with 1 drink,1 starter,1 main course and 1 soup of the day but sadly no dessert.So we got Seafood Mushroom Soup.They said it tasted like Shark Fin soup,but to me it tasted alright,there was a few pieces of mushrooms and fish meat and oyster.

Ok,we all can agree that this plate of salad sucks!The dressing they put is Balsamic Vinegar only.So it was sour and plain and people who hates vegetables will definitely not eat this.I was the only one who finished the lettuces and tomatoes cause I don't like eating raw onions.

Emily's Nasi Lemak set,the sambal is pretty spicy but the rice tasted awesome according to Emily.

Crystal's set,Cream pasta with Bacon.She said its filling cause of the creaminess so she did not manage to finish the whole plate of it.But it is delicious!

My set,Salted Egg Fried Rice.It was quite dry but the amount of flavour is just right,not too salty and it has a few pieces of prawns too but some of the prawns seems undercooked.I didn't finish everything cause it was not so nice.

Food- 7/10
Service- 5/10,cause the food came after more than 15 minutes!Maybe cause it was lunchtime and there was a lot customers.
Environment- 8/10

Raspberry flavoured frozen yogurt with Spoon's signature granola and Oreo bits and Tiramisu topping!I LOVE SPOON OMG THE FROZEN YOGURT THERE IS SO NICE AND THEIR SIGNATURE GRANOLA TOPPING IS THE BOMB!It was the 2nd time I been there and I feel that its worth it.Now they have a promotion which is Free Tiramisu topping for 1 cup of frozen yogurt.

Emily!XD

The table we sat at changes colors,literally.Now its blue like Crystal's nails.

Me after the make-up session in Stage.Not much difference cause she did a light Day make-up for me.

Free manicure session from Emily.

Here's a close up of the eye make up.I wanted a day look so she only used 1 color.The workers in Stage are really rude and ignorant,going in there makes me feel so frustrated just looking at their bored and cocky faces.They were unfriendly and I can feel that they want me to leave the shop as soon as possible.Even the make up done on my face is not done nicely.The lady just did it simply!She didn't even curl my lashes!

But I really like the eyeshadow color she used!Sadly,it was only available on the expensive eyeshadow palette which I can't afford.

The make up really made my eyes look bigger!Plus,I was wearing blue colored contacts that sort of makes my eyes look bigger.I got my contact lenses from KittyTales which is owned by a friend of mine.My contacts are called EOS Max Misty Blue.

This is a really nice picture taken by Emily using her DSLR.Now I feel more encouraged to save up for one,but I don't think I am willing to lug a big camera around just to take nice pictures...but I might change my mind,thanks to Lookbook where people post awesome pictures that are edited till it looks more awesome.I don't even have Photoshop!
