19 fun things to do being a 19 yr old

1. got TIME and LEG to travel... WHY NOT TRAVEL? no money to travel nevermind. there are a lot more places in Malaysia to travel to.. namely, Pulau Redang, Lang Tengah, Langkawi, Genting Highlands, Malacca, Penang. All of them are fantastic! and.. by this age.. travel companions are most probably friends.. so which makes travelling --> FUN-er!






2. WRITE LETTERS to your future self!..
as in.. writing what you would do or should achieve when you turn lets say 21, 24 or
whatever age u wish. then when the clock strikes 12 on ur 21st or whichever bday,
open the TIGHTLY sealed letter..
then you get to laugh and see how you have
lead your life over these few years.
and also judge how much you have grown
in terms of wants and dreams. Its really cool!..
trust me cause i did it when i was 14 writing to the 17 yr old me..





3. metabolism still high.. and no sickness.. yet.. so.. MAKAN LO!..
nasi lemak, asam laksa, char kuey teow, roti canai, RAMLI BURGER!, cendol.. oh glorious foods!..

4. BUY and PLAY whatever you want..
cause.. ahem... you are using daddy's money.. haha.. i am so sorry. but.. this is the time to utilise your right to ask for allowance before you graduate and start working then u have to use ur own money!.. you know that you are going to work hard and lead susah life later on.. why not relax and chill now?.. don worry.. when u start working, you will pay back daddy all his money.. =)

5. STAY UP LATE thinking that you WILL do your assignment after you post a blog or reading someone else's or reading celebs gossips but.. actually you will never do it.. :S..



6. SOCIALIZE.. when you can go out till the wee hours
partying away or
po-pek-ing away with friends over teh tarik and milo panas.

7. TRY ON EVERYTHING, try different styles because everything will look
good on you.
and You can dress like crazy because.. you are YOUNG!








8. have a friendster profile..
nuff said!

9. COOK with friends or alone and poison everyone.. hehe.. nothing beats seeing the eye-widening and smiles on ur "victims'" faces... n ppl will forgive you for the rubbish you cooked for them bcos.. u.. are.... 19.. not hopeless yet..

10. procrastinating assignments is quite fun..

11. play with make-ups..! experience with different colours!.. accentuate your eyes by drawing panda circles.. :)

12. GO TO CONCERTs!.. worship the singer! and sing together with other thousands of devotees. and feel HIGH...! see? you don need ecstasy!

~~我與你永不可別離　愛你愛到死

因只得你　方可使我　流露自己

你眼裡那種種傳奇　醉我醉到死

一生使我動情　是你~~ nanana nanana nanana~~ heheh.. sau kuan!.. you influence me already!!

13. TAKE MORE PICTURES, be a camwhore! hehehe...
no wrinkles.. still young and cute..!
better capture these moments
before it flashes by without us realizing it!
its also a great away to record our memories
and for us to ponder on and laugh when we .. erm.. cant laugh that much for fear the wrinkles will erm... appear! *GASP!*







14. keep diaries/blogs - preferably the former..
where you can bitch or gush bout that bitch or crush you have.. and when you read back years later.. you will think.. oh wow.. since when had i liked him ?.. huh..? xxx? who's this.. why don i remember kissing him? =p.. its ur own LIFE story!.. so start writing in a diary now!..

15. LOVE like you have never got hurt!..
so what if it hurts? these are the feelings that will only make us stronger!
this is the time where we dont have to worry about our future lifelong partner. so.. love all you want!, flirt all you want!.. but just as long you respect your body and urself. Nothing is more important than u!

16. Take good care of your skin!
once, there was a beautician who was very appalled by my skincare regime. but i told her.. "its ok.. now i am here asking help from you isnt it?"... so her facial expression softened abit.. hehe.. then she gave me this advice "this is time when you really have to take good care of your skin because you are still young.. skin can still be repaired but if you get older, chances will be very low!"

17. STUDY!
forget about the the pain of vomiting 2000 words
or the heart attacks when assignments due dates
loom near..OH JUST HOW WE LOVE going to
college and uni?!.. many have told me...
better appreciate the moments of rushing for assignments
and the sleepless nights of revisions.
These are the best moments in life.

sau kuani.. hope u don mind.. i really think this picture is a perfect example of a happy college life!

i have a few friends who have started working...
when the rest of us look at them in envy because
they are earning their own money.. they too..
look back at us in greater envy because we are still enjoying life.
Working = fixed time, cannot do mistakes, always need to hit targets, no holiday, wanna apply leave also hard, wanna ponteng also hard, cannot work halfway suddenly go watch movie, have to sleep early, no NIGHTLIFE!.. now we can say..."eh.. this lecture very boring la. .skip la.. we go GSC!" in working life, can we say "eh.. this customer very fan la.. can we not layan this asshole" ?

and this is what my sister told me.. once u start working.. u really have no time to socialize anymore. friends will slowly one by one deem out from ur life. but this is the way isnt it?.. when u have no friends.. then only you can concentrate on starting a family. the walk of life ma.
a quote that i came upon in the star "THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE."

18. LEARN NEW LANGUAGES!..
this is the time where we have the time and mind to learn new languages!.. how good it feels to be able to converse in more than 5 languages..!.. and ppl around u will be like.. "wah!!.... can talk in so many languages!.." for me.. even though i know how to speak mandarin.. but i am learning to read and write more mandarin words.. because i am a CHINESE! next language to learn.. well.. i just need to polish up my hainanese. =)

19. DRIVE AROUND
anyone who knows the way to everywhere will certainly be the envy of the crowd.. aint it correct?.. well it may not be very 'green' to waste fuel going everywhere with not much purpose. But seriously its a diff world out there.. out of your comfort zone!.. don wait until ppl call u to go somewhere only you tell them you do not know where it is!... fine.. maybe not only drive around.. but to be alert where ppl are going.. so that you can go there next time on your own..

and another thing is also TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTs... well.. i know its dangerous. but.. its totally diff out there.. sitting lrt and buses really gave me a diff outlook on KL.. =)

ok.. 19 pointers..

Just do whatever you want to do and go where you want to go.. because when you get older, you will never know what your obligations and commitments are. believe when they say COLLEGE LIFE is always the BEST..

You only have one chance to live your life!..
Second ticks away and it will never come back.
One day you are 19 and the next you are 30..
And when u r 30, looking at teenagers doing the stuff they do.. are you going to look back and regret?

YOU are the main character of YOUR life,
YOU are the leader of YOUR life
do what u wanna do..! tripped and fell?.. stand up, brush yourself off, walk tall!
but REMEMBER to learn from mistakes!

As for me, i like myself being 19 so much that i listed down these 19 points to remind myself in the future that i ENJOYED being 19 and that i appreciated myself and life!

but... what would 19 be like without friends?.. NOTHING!

so.. gals.. thank you for being there for me..!...

and... thank you for making my 19th birthday so SPECIAL!

LOVE YA!.... u all know who u are!
