Hi guys! It's been quite a while hasn't it? A lot has happened since then. I'll be starting school next Monday. I am terrified out of my mind but I'm trying to keep my cool. I know I'll be able to do whatever I'm faced to do. *Cue Destiny's Child 'I'm a survivor'.*

 Sooo I dyed my hair...yet again. I've been planning on dyeing it purple for a hella long time and well, I finally did it! It's a reaaallly dark purple. It's so dark you can hardly tell it's purple. You'd probably think it's black or something. Unless you see it under the sun then yeah, you could see the purple.


So guys! How many of you have watched 'Annabelle'?!? I watched it about a week ago with a couple of my friends and well, it was utterly disappointing. I understand if there are some of you who can't agree with me and that's fine, but really though. I mean, the trailers were soooo good. And then I watched the movie and I was just disappointed. It was scary till the part the demon showed up, then it just got boring. And if you're a believer of the afterlife, God, and whatnot, don't you think it's rather strange how that lady just voluntarily gave up her soul, just so that her new found friend could get her daughter back?

Wait...Let's back up a little.


So this woman, Evelyn had a daughter and they were both involved in a car accident. Her daughter died but she obviously didn't. So she's been feeling guilty ever since, since she was the one behind the wheel. So she attempted suicide, yada yada...


So she meets this woman, Mia, and she learns that her entire family is being disturbed by this demon.



Fast forward to the part when Mia is about to jump off the building...



So now the demon has taken Mia's baby and demands a soul in return. So Mia gets on the ledge of the window, ever ready to jump when her husband grabs her and tells her she's being ridiculous and that killing herself won't solve anything. So then this Evelyn lady takes her place. I mean, back to the 'Afterlife' topic...She gave up her soul for another, but that means now, she can never see her daughter again. Her daughter's probably in heaven and well, she's in hell. Because she gave her soul to the devil. That's a little stupid don't you think?


Anyway, I give this movie a 6/10. I mean I'm a horror movie junkie and my standards are really high and well, this movie was nowhere near scary for me.


So that's about it!

"Stop reading at the table." or, "Put that book away. Now's not the time."  is something I hear far too often from my family members. I can't help that I'm such an avid reader. To be honest, I wasn't always a bookworm. I remember when I was growing up, people would ask me who my favourite author was, and I'd tell them that I didn't read so I couldn't answer that. Then they'd just stare at me as though I just grew another set of arms. Seriously, you couldn't get me to read a book even if you begged. That's just how I was.


Now's entirely different though. My dad, being the joker that he is, will always say to me, "I'm just glad you have your nose in a book and not in people's business or up people's butt." Hahah. Wise words from my pops everybody.


So anyway, I'm here to share a few of my favourite books. I love books by Haruki Murakami. I just recently found out about him through my Aunty. She said that her friend had recommended her a book called 'Norwegian Wood' and she didn't have the time to read it so she decided to lend it to me since I was in search for another book to devour. Hah. That book is something I like to call a 'No sleep' book. Because that's exactly what you aren't getting. Sleep. That book was fantastic from beginning to the end. I won't summarise or anything for you guys because I really want ya'll to read the book.

Hi all! So a few days ago I explored Thomson V Two. There wasn't much to see since it's relatively new. Since I had about an hour to kill, I decided to have a cup of coffee at this cute little cafe called 'Fluffy White Cloud'. Or that's what I think it's called. Hah.

The cafe is incredibly tiny. Like seriously. 'Tiny' is the best way to describe it. It's waaaay past 'small'. At first I was a little skeptical because I'm not a big fan of the whole hipster scene but this place looked cosy plus there was no one there so I was all for it. I walked in and was greeted by a petite girl. No wonder they hired her, she could actually fit. The menu was rather impressive too. Plus they sell watches. Yes. Watches, coffee and desserts. Interesting huh?




So I ordered a vanilla latte. Okay so here's the thing. I'm a big fan of vanilla. Seriously, you could have vanilla fish and chips or something and I'd still eat that. So I've had countless cups of mediocre vanilla coffee before so I was expecting this to be the same, but this cup of coffee was absolutely delicious. The vanilla was just right, the coffee wasn't overwhelming, it was just beyond perfect.

After I was done, I went in to pay up and I just had to tell her that the coffee was the best vanilla latte I have ever had. I will definitely be going back for more vanilla goodness. It's a great little place to catch up on your reading or if you just want a good cup of coffee and some quiet time.
