Over obsessions and Eternal Fangirl Mode

Hello there fellow human beings! (and maybe some non-human beings),

It has come to the second day of the week- TUESDAY! That also means a new blog post from me. I didn't realise that it was already Tuesday and I had to write up a blog post today. As you all may or may not know, it was Presidents' Day yesterday. Since I was off yesterday, I thought that today was a Monday and I thought that I didn't have to write a blog post.

But, I remembered that it WAS NOT Monday.

As you may know, I love watching shows from the CW (i.e: The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, The Flash, Arrow, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Beauty and the Beast, Reign). I technically watch about 70% of their shows. I do want to start on Supernatural but DAMN, it's going to take forever for me to catch up on that show if I start all the way from the beginning.

It does look very tempting for me to start though. Anyway, I have been watching all the shows I've listed above but of course, I have to wait for them to actually air and then be uploaded onto the CW App for me to view so, there is a time in between that I wouldn't have anything to watch. Also considering the times when most of those TV shows are on hiatus- which is a very sad time for me, I don't have anything to watch and waste my time on.

Usually around that time, I would fill in the gaps by watching Korean Dramas because KOREAN DRAMAS ARE LIFE. Okay, actually I don't only watch Korean Dramas when American TV shows are on hiatus. I watch time all the time. But still! Korean Dramas are amazing. Even though THEY ARE VERY VERY CLICHE AND CHEESY, I can't help but actually watch them. They are very satisfying in fact; even though I can really predict what's going to happen next. I'm guessing this is a sort of addiction?

How can I ever back away from scenes like this? PURE GOLD.

I have watched too many dramas in my time. HECK. I'm barely 17 but, I have watched my fair share of Korean Dramas. My favourite drama of all time (so far) probably has to be

IT'S OKAY, THAT'S LOVE

I can't even describe to you how much I JUST LOVE THIS DRAMA. IT'S SO GOOD. I've probably watched this over 3 times. It's just that worth of my time. PLUS, Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin are just PERFECT. I would totally want to watch another drama with both of them as the leads again. Their chemistry is just inevitable. JUST PERFECT.

But alas, the Lunar New Year has come and the dramas that were airing the last week. Like Cheese in the Trap,

You gotta love Seo Kang Joon.

Have been postponed to the next week and I really have nothing to watch. So, I had to look for something to keep myself busy.

This takes me back many many years when Naruto was still on Cartoon Network and I was into anime. It was probably about 6-7 years ago when I got into anime maybe I little bit early than that. So, I was into anime and I would watch Naruto that was airing on Cartoon Network every day at 11pm. It was my favorite. After that, I slowly got introduced into K-Pop by my cousin during my Grandmother's funeral when we were burning papers. I've gotten into that K-Pop phase, gotten out of it and went back in quite recently.

But now, I cannot believe it but, I'm back to square one where I'm into anime. I'm guessing it's worse now because of my newly found interest in COSPLAY. Yes, because of my dear friend Trudy- who is a cosplayer, I've gotten an interest in Cosplay. My dad thinks I'm crazy for wanting to dress up like a childish character. But, LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.

EVIE FRYE IS ABSOLUTE BAE.

Back into the anime topic, I've spent my Presidents' Day watching anime. Yes. I started watching Naruto Shippuden, though I have watch the first few episodes before and couldn't grasp onto it. But, I've started watching it again and IT'S JUST BEEN A PLEASANT JOURNEY. I'm at episode 52 right at this moment because I am watching and writing this post at the same time.

Reasons why I started watching Naruto Shippuden is because I was searching for good movies to watch and I came across Boruto: Naruto the Movie, which is a movie on Naruto's son Boruto and practically all of Naruto's classmate's kids and their lives in the future stuff like that. So, I've watched that I and was like "HOW DID THIS ALL HAPPEN?" because, the last time I watched any Naruto series was when all of them were still children. So, that really intrigued me.

Second reason is because, CAN I JUST SAY. KAKASHI IS FOREVER A CHILDHOOD ANIME CRUSH OF MINE. There will be no one who can ever take that spot away from him.

C'mon guys. He's pretty cute.

And also the fact that I found out that HE LOST HIS SHARINGAN AND BECAME THE 6TH HOKAGE LIKE WHAT. But really he is MY ANIME CRUSH FOR LIFE.

*Everyone's reaction of me right now

You can't really blame me for Kakashi being so cute. BECAUSE HE IS OH MY GOODNESS. asdbfkdkabdfnwljfc *can't hold on excitement*.

So, yeah. That has happened within the past day or so. I DO NOT REGRET A SINGLE MOMENT OF IT SO FAR BECAUSE PROBABLY SOME TIME LATER ON I WILL REGRET WATCHING ANIME AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF ME AND MAKE ME HATE MYSELF SO MUCH I WANNA CRY.

I will stop there for today. So,

GOODBYE MY FRIENDS

Sim-tastic

Happy Tuesday !

It is yet again another Tuesday, with another new blog post.

I really have a hard time thinking of stuff to post about every week. Also, because I (again!) did not do anything for the past week. I seriously have the most boring life in the world.

My everyday routine is the same cycle. It repeats over and over again every single day. It IS really that boring. It's like a Sim's life (not like a slyly slid 'Sims' into this because it is the topic that I am going to talk about today *ahem*).

I actually spent my weekend downloading a bunch of Sims Custom Content- which really made my laptop lag for a good 30 minutes. But, I did that and I also built some houses in the Sims 4 and I AM REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF for doing so. I have never built a house like I built this house this time and It looks PRETTY LIT.

I also took me some time to figure out how to go into cameraman mode in the sims because a lot of tutorials for cameraman mode mentions to use the Sims 3 camera and honestly, I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE INVERTED CONTROLS. Sims 3 players must've felt weird the first time they started playing the Sims 4. So, I attempted at taking some decent look photos of my houses that I made.

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY. My very first time attempting to build a house with this kind of roofing.

It is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom ; I guess American(?) style home, that I have places in Willow Creek of the Sims 4. It took me a really long time to get the actual shape of the house right because I AM TRASH AT BUILDING HOUSES. I do have more interest towards the interior design of the house and I usually spend most of my time doing the actual interior design more than the building itself.

Here's some closeups of my "BEAUTIFUL" home.

Well, that was a lot of pictures. But then again, I REALLY AM PROUD OF MYSELF FOR BUILDING THIS HOUSE. If you are a simmer; like myself, you can download this home on the community page. I'm not really sure how but maybe, if you search my origin ID (peiyersonchai759) this one MIGHT pop-up. I do have to warn you though, about maybe 95-97% of the furnishings and maybe some of the windows are custom content and you would probably lose most of the items/objects if you were to use it.

Including the entire Sim package, I definitely made some sims to live in this house. It is ALSO the first time ever that I've made a Sim like this.

I've also recently gone onto the more 'asian' Sim style because I'm embracing my FABULOUS ASIAN-NESS. But, I have made a back story for the female sim- Kerri Reed. As you can tell, she definitely looks asian BUT, she does have a white/non-asian name. It's because she was adopted into a Caucasian family and she has been highly influenced by the 'white' culture. She also has the snobby, materialistic trait (not saying that Caucasian are any of those), but it felt right to make her as that kind of a person.

Can I just say, I am addicted to the sims? Especially downloading the custom content for the sims. It feels like I'm online shopping for myself and everything is free but really, it' not for me; it's for my sims. I feel like they appreciate me too.

I think I spent around 2-3 hours completing the house. It didn't actually take that long, but I left for a bit and I turned off my sims, when I came back to continuing my house, half of the progress I have made on the house WHERE GONE. So, that made me take a much longer time than I expected.

If you look at the dining area picture, (the 3rd picture in the straight row of pictures) THE CHAIRS THOUGH. I AM IN LOVE. I really just fell in love when I saw those chairs for the first time online. I try to use those chairs in any of my builds because THEY ARE JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL.

Well, I'll stop here for the day because I'm face timing my mom right now and she keeps complaining that I should just stop 'playing' with my blog. So, I will.

GOODBYE MY DEAR FRIENDS.

P.S: If you were wondering where I get my custom content, I get most of them from { http://sims4downloads.net/} and sometimes I get loose items/objects on tumblr which I just so happen to come across.

Food-ventures 1.0

Hello there non-existent readers of my non-existent blog,

It honestly took me forever to think of what I could write for this week's blog post because really; I don't do much most of my life. But FORTUNATELY, I did think of something and I did venture out to some new places the past weekend.

As you all know (or not- now you do), I really love food. I really really really love food. It's like an obsession. Maybe it's just me but I do know a lot of people who has the same obsession as I do. Because honestly, how can you NOT like food ?

So, on Saturday 31st January 2016, I travelled to a Japanese restaurant that I have never tried before and came home after that feeling very pleased and satisfied.

It is a Japanese restaurant named Sushi Koshu, situated in Diamond Bar, California. I don't know if you'll understand what I mean but, the restaurant just gave off that vibe that kind of felt like "COME IN HERE. I HAVE A GREAT ATMOSPHERE. YOU'LL LIKE ME".

I would usually judge restaurants based on their atmosphere, and their interior design (also another obsession of mine). I don't really judge the food because honestly, I can't judge food. To me, if a food tastes the way it is, and other people don't like it, I would just say "That's the way it's supposed to taste, and I may not suit everyone's palette."

So, back onto Sushi Koshu. It gave a really nice vibe and the interior was pretty decent. THE FOOD THOUGH WAS GREAT IN MY OPINION.

Can I just say, I AM IN LOVE WITH THEIR MENU COVER??

I ordered a combination set of Tempura and Salmon Shioyaki and it came with a bowl of rice, 2 side salads (on the tray shown above), a bowl of miso soup and another salad before that. The set cost around $15-16. I don't really remember but in my opinion, THAT'S PRETTY DECENT.

I thought the service was great. The waiters would frequently come around asking if everything is fine and they were really nice too. If your first language is not English, or maybe you're not as proficient and you choose not to speak it as often, NO WORRIES. The waiter ladies DO speak Chinese. I am not sure whether or not they are Korean or Japanese but, they do speak Chinese.

I WILL POST THE ADDRESSES AND CONTACT INFORMATION OF ANY RESTAURANT THAT I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS POST AT THAT BOTTOM OF THE ENTIRE POST FYI.

The next day, I did also try out another restaurant in Studio City, LA. We were going to go for ramen but with a party of 11, it's hard to get seats and also shocking the heck out of the servers with the amount of people crammed together on small seats in a ramen bar.

Despite that misfortune, we then changed courses and went for Indian.

We headed for a Indian restaurant (still in Studio City) called Lal Mirch. OH BOY, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I have never tried actual Indian cuisine in my life. I am Malaysian where there are many Indians but, I have only tried Mamak cuisine and never Indian so, this really got my spirits goin UP.

I had such a hard time choosing what to order because 1. I am really unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. 2. There were just an abundant of dishes to order from on the menu. At last, I settled for a Tandoori Chicken- which was one of their most popular dishes.

On the left, is a Coconut Lamb Curry on medium spice (you get to choose the spice level of your curry) and on the right is a sizzling plate of Tandoori Chicken. I apologise for the bad quality picture because it was quite dark in there and using flash would've just made it look awkward. SORRY.

Though I must say, my favourite dish was neither of the dishes in the picture. There was a fish curry my aunt had ordered, and It was the best thing I had tasted the entire day. It blessed my taste buds. The garlic naan bread was ALSO VERY BOMB.

I would say my very first experience with Indian cuisine went swimmingly. The ONLY critique I have from my very short visit to India was that I would much appreciate it is was a TAD BIT brighter in the restaurant. Though I know "Maybe it's their thing.", I CAN'T SEE WHAT I'M EATING. It was really hard to tell whether or not I still had rice on my plate or I had run out of rice.

And this, is where I will end my post for the week ! GOODBYEEE~
