Adventure Time: Sunny Sunny UUM

Hello sweltering humans! "It sure is hot, isn't it?" types Noel, whilst sitting in her air-conditioned room with a fan blowing directly at her.  I'm here with more sunny photos that will make you sweat, which were taken in my Father's hometown, this little town in Kedah called Changloon.

It took me a long time to come up with my title because I couldn't pinpoint what to call my little adventure in Changloon (it's actually spelled Changlun but I like to call in Changloon just because I like to say 'loon' because it sounds Thai).

The purpose of me going back to Changloon was to visit my Popo, who had a major surgery recently. She's doing quite well but on the second day there, Mother suggested that us teenagers should go and visit the UUM campus which isn't located far away from Changloon. I jumped at the idea because we were basically hibernating in our room as there was no wi-fi.

So we drove to UUM. The main purpose was to check out their Deer Garden (Taman Rusa)  so we were pumped. Well, I was, anyway.

The UUM campus was surprisingly H-U-G-E. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was definitely not it's vastness. We just drove right in because nobody stopped us (okay lah, it's an open campus, anyone can go there). I drove really slowly because it was my first time there, but we still managed to miss the turning to the Deer Garden so we just followed the main road. But then we magically ended up at UUM's front gates again. So we went for the second time. And finally, we found the Deer Garden.

To call it a garden  would be giving it too much credit. It was more like a sangkar. There was a map showing how large and organized the Taman Rusa was, back in the day, obviously. But now the deers are all just rounded up in this sealed off perimeter where they stare at cars passing by. I'm not even joking.

When we reached the cage, we realized that curious humans have also come and visit the deers and they brought food for them. So naturally kiasu, we had to feed the deers something too. So we started pulling the grass surrounding the fence which the deers could not reach and fed them that. They got pretty excited.

My Snow White moment. I didn't even have grass then. She was just licking me.

It looks like an emoji hehehe

My cousin couldn't feed it because the deer kept snorting at her. 

FREE ME

It was interesting how they weren't afraid of humans. We could just touch them easily.

Their noses are quite soft okay

The less nosey deers were just chilling there.

Then we decided to go to this lotus pond we saw on our first attempt to find the Deer Garden because... I wanted to camwhore. I'm sorry there really isn't much to say, I really just wanted to share these photos with you because it was a happy day.

Do I look like a sun child

Itchy butt alert

 My cousin brother asked me to jump like a star. Apparently my cousin sister didn't get the memo.

And then and then I climbed a tree. I am so wild. When I sat on that extended branch, my cousins said: "Are you sure it'll hold?" IT FCUKING HELD OK 

This was the can we pls go to an air conditioned room it's fucking hot but okay i'll pose awkardly for this one photo

Oh, Kedah is so beautiful.

The place where we took the photos was actually a golf course. There's a golf course inside the UUM campus. I don't get it, but it was a gorgeous place to be.

And butterflies. There were so many there. While I sat my huge ass down for the itchy butt photo, they were literally dancing all around me. It was pretty rad, but my cousin sister is actually terrified of butterflies. She runs away when we scream: 'BUTTERFLY!' at her. It's pretty hilarious on our part but incredibly traumatizing for her. We had to try multiple times to take that photo of us sitting on the grass without her flinching from a butterfly 10 meters away.


I realize it doesn't really matter what I type here anyway because the size of my thighs blind you and you are already forming your own opinions about my body, my weight and how I should slim down to be pretty. But you know what? I'm so done caring. I know my thighs look hideous in your eyes. I know I have short legs. I know I'm not skinny. But that doesn't wipe my sunny smile off my face. I still look absolutely happy in these photos, and that's what matters the most to me.

Basically; fuck off with body shaming thanks

So, I have lots more photos of Alor Star and outings with my friends which I haven't posted anywhere else, so I'll be back soon. 

Sunny Angel

I have so many things to let out here, but I can't seem to ever finish all my drafts.

I will do so soon. I have not abandoned you, please remember that.

Love,

Noel

Because I kinda feel like snuggling with someone

#NoelWroteThisCaption

So on Monday, me and Mother had this conversation

Mother: Eh, are you going out this Saturday?

Me: No... Why?

Mother: Well you should go out with your friends.

Me: Huh?

Mother: I scared you get very bored, stuck at home. 

Which is why a few minutes later, I tweeted this:

And Joyanne and Yiwen immediately responded HAHAHAHAHAHA

So I guess that's how we made plans. Yay Internet!

We went to Padi House, which is located at Equine Park. We kind of forgot that today was Friday and it was lunchtime, so Noel had an intense parking session in which I had to try not to bang the other car because wtf why do people even design such tiny parking spots.

The food was okay I guess. I had pasta. It was... Cheesy and tomatoey? I'm sorry. I shouldn't blog about food. Anyway, the great company overshadowed the shit service and the food.

I guess this is the part where I spam you with the photos we took on Yiwen's phone hehehe

NOEL IS A MONOPOD

I was trying to jump back into my Hippie phase. I like it.

We talked about some of the current things that were going on our lives.

Apparently Yiwen is getting really stressed out in college because of this biatch who honestly need a smack across her face because she thinks Malaysians are uncivilised, stupid and slow.  Ugh. It makes me feel sad how Yiwen has to deal with this kind of people without Noel by her side. Aiyoh.

But I guess that's how life is right?

Okay, I guess the hilarious thing about going out with Joyanne and Yiwen is that we always spazz out on our Twitter and Instagrams. It's seriously cray.

Yiwen and Joyanne posted these:

@yWtorres9

@JoyanneyLing

This generation.... *shakes head*

And then we went to chez Joyanne and we camwhored abit because we were happy. That's enough reason.

We spent some time stalking people on the Internet and tweetjacking each other. (Seriously Joyanne?? Tweetjacks are not fun at all ._______________.)

And then we decided to do a cover, because why not????

We tried (again) to cover 5 Seconds of Summer's - She Looks So Perfect, but me and Joyanne just weren't feeling the song. (Ceyhhh) So we decided to do Pompeii by Bastille. And it was super fun hehe.

Deyh. Deyh I look super hot here.

Here is our cover. It has like, 4 views lol.

But of course, since this is my blog, I have 'bonus content' for everyone!

Noel can u stop being so lame wtf

I know. I try to.

Okay, I have spend the past hour trying to figure out how to put Instagram videos onto my blog. 

Strong by London Grammar. This song has been stuck in my head for almost a week and I just wanted to let it out because this song is just amazing. I was even playing the piano. I haven't touched the piano for almost a year now hahahaha. I feel so talented ✿

I guess I wanted to remember today because it was just fun.  I miss being able to chill at school with my Boobies. And it feel like I'm growing up too fast, and I hate it. I want to curl into a ball.

I'm sorry. This post doesn't have any feeling in it. I have been writing lots of feely posts lately but with all the internet going on, I always seem to lose the feeling I am trying to transpose onto paper. And it makes me feel like crap.

Oh no oh no. This is supposed to be a happy post.

You should probably browse through our tweets and instagram to get the full story hehe. Oh oh oh, don't forget to check out the #NoelWroteThisCaption because Noel wrote all of those captions and I think I'm funny.

Happy stalking!

Let's Talk About: Twitter!

Epic editing fail.

 If you know me (and I'm assuming you do), you would know that I am a bit Twitter crazy.

"A bit?!"

"All right. Fine. I AM EXTREMELY TWITTER CRAZY."

You don't believe me?

Check out my current number of tweets:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

*update* it's not really this number now lol

So I wanted to just... Vent out my affectionate feelings for Twitter on my loving blog here. Mainly because I can't do it in 140 characters. And also, recently I reached 500 followers on Twitter! *pops confetti*. Of course, not that the numbers matter that much, but I consider it as a unlocking a tiny achievement.

MY BASIC TWITER TIMELINE

All right. Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

I started out on twitter on November of 2009. I was thirteen. I don't really know why I set up a Twitter account, actually. I just heard about it and I was curious. So I got myself a Twitter account. And guess what?

IT WAS SO BOOOOOOORING. 

No really. It was so quiet  on Twitter back then. I would only have updates from the official Twitter account and we all know how often they update themselves. Facebook proved to be so much more exciting with photo tagging (!) and status updating (!) and learning how to stalk my crush back then (!!!). Ah, how fun. Sorry Twitter. 

And I didn't know how to tweet at all back then. I assumed it was like Facebook, you just posted something and naturally your 'friends' would come and 'like' it, or 'comment' on it. So what the heck was this 'retweet' thing and this 'favourite' thing?? Twitter is so weird. Hence, let us wince at Noel's first tweet. 

13 year old Noel complaining about insomnia? Hahahaha. She doesn't know what's coming at her. (And I even tweeted this during the school holidays. Such badassery)

And btw, my tweethandle/username back then was @DarkAngel3663 because HEYYYY, I AM AN ANGEL RIGHT. And WHO CARES ABOUT CREATIVITY?? DARKANGEL3663 I PUNK AND ROCK AND COOLZ ENOUGH.

Then, I met Teressa (@CheekyTeressa_X), who taught me how to use Twitter. She said it was for her to vent out basically everything she's feeling. I guess we were both quite hormonal back then so that's when Twitter started to be my ribbish bin of feelings. Everything else was still quite lame though I only followed like, 20 accounts? Yeah. But it was my safe place because no one from school used Twitter back then. 

It was then I decided that @DarkAngel3663 was too awkward for anything (it was still my blog url until recently tho), and I changed it to @AngelOfRockstar!!! Because well.. I am an angel. Who is also a rockstar. Please don't question my adolescent thoughts.

It was then more and more people joined Twitter, though arguably none of them were extremely extremely close with me. So it was still my personal playground of feelings (lol wtf). Then    s   l   o   w   l   y    my friends started to get Twitter. Most of my Malay friends anyway. I sincerely remember a Chinese girl saying back in 2010/2011: "Twitter is fun meh? All Malay people play only." But let's not go into that, in case Noel picks a war. But yes, at that period, most of my timeline was filled with tweets from my Malay friends. But it was great, because my friends were funny and it was like we were in our secret hipster club.

And I guess it was around that period that I decided that I was not a Rockstar anymore. I was a Hippie (I was really into headbands during that period). Hence, the username: @TheHippieAngel. I think that one stuck with me the longest because I was incredibly proud of it, actually. It was even my instagram name at the start.

I want to call my @TheHippieAngel period my Zaman Kegemilangan. Because it was then that I managed to persuade most of my close circle of friends to get Twitter so we would sometimes all go online at the same time and tweet indirectly and have the craziest time ever (LOL JK WHO AM I KIDDING WE STILL DO THAT SOMETIMES). And it was also then I started to make more cool Twitter friends whom I would interact a lot online, but more on that later.

 I also really loved Twitter back then because we weren't supervised there. We could swear all we wanted, we could complain all we wanted and it was just so free. But of course, my Zaman Kegemilangan had to come to an end, just like all the glory days have to end. And I supposed mine ended when my parents discovered my Twitter account, which is public, and read my tweets. And that lead to a number of really depressing and sad events that I do not want to relive ever again and I was told to stay off Twitter mainly because it was bad for me. Srysly tho.

 But then again, I never really did stop tweeting. Not even during my SPM period, which I think helped a lot because tweeting really allowed me to let out all my bottled up frustration because I was also disallowed to blog. Which is kinda dumb now that you think about it, because my final year at school has gone to waste because I never blogged about it.

 And now, Hobo Noel is still extremely active on Twitter. Though arguably with less material to tweet about (no teachers to complain about, no random bitchiness to bitch back, no constant interactions with schoolmates to embarrass them), I still try to keep my Twitter fun and lively with happy tweets.

 My "COOL" Twitter Friends

 I know people say don't simply make friends on the internet, but honestly, I made lots of friends through Twitter. And they are really awesome people.Well, obviously I wouldn't know if they were secretly a psychotic murderer, but most  of them who I have taken the time to get to know well, are honestly very nice and friendly people.

I hope my parents don't freak out, but I really want to meet my 'internet friends' in real life because then only I feel that we are legit friends? Not that they aren't friends with me now, but just so I can bond closer with them and maybe take a few selfies because they simply are amazing people. Of course, not all of my Twitter friends are strangers, most of them I've met them once at camp, or through the Starstruck! program, but we got to bond closer over Twitter, which I think is really great.

What I like about people on Twitter is that, because it uses the 'follower' system, I don't have to put up with annoying feed like on my Facebook newsfeed (which I will not go into because this is already longer than necessary). If I like what you tweet, I'll follow you. If I don't, then I won't. But if you want to follow me because I'm cool, or anything. I don't have to be obliged to follow you back, because that's just how life is.

But of course, there are those people who like to be play:

It's basically where you follow an account and that person handling that account has, say, 10 'empty' accounts so they will follow you back so it's like you gain lots and lots of followers. But the catch is: You have to - "Retweet for a free follow". It's pretty hilarious. And kind of annoying actually. And honestly, it's quite pointless because these people don't care about what you tweet, they don't care about your life. They are only there to give you numbers, which don't really mean a thing. And I just feel really sorry for these people because imagine how tiring it is to try and track all your followers everyday? And actually care  when you lose this one 'follower' who might be a robot whirling in cyberspace.

But on another note, I truly appreciate all my followers (who I know, more than half of them are just dunce accounts or inactive accounts, but still) because I am able to scroll through my Timeline everyday and actually have a really good time there. Yeah.


So yes, Twitter is not just a great site. It is basically part of my life now. And I'm pretty okay with it being that. 

✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌

So, how did you guys like my first "Let's Talk About" post? Allright. I have a confession to make. Since I am in full Hobo mode right now, I have been watching lots of YouTube videos. Lots of British YouTube videos. So basically I typed this whole post out with a British accent. 

Yes I agree, Sweetie.

And in like a YouTube video, I hope to make this a running series, where I rant properly about my favourite sites, favourite objects, or even favourite people. But of course, I can't do that if people aren't remotely interested in my thoughts. I'm really interested in feedback from my non-existent readers because I like people.

So if you liked this "Let's Talk About" segment series thing (???), please let me know in the dooblydoo (u see what I did there) below! Or you could just tweet me, because I'm on Twitter 24/7.

And of course you should probably follow my Twitter account: @NoelHasFeathers because it's where I moan about life and post updates about my blog.

So I guess I'll see you next time! Tweet ya later! 

:)
