Merry Christmas + Happy New Year!! =]

Hi Guys! I haven't posted anything in so long. I feel ashamed... How can I make it up to you? I even missed Christmas to post something!! But anyway, I'm going to make this a long post about lots and lots of things including Christmas and New Year.

Christmas has been already! Even though it hasn't been the 12th day of Christmas yet. I got so many things for Christmas! Including a REAL Swatch watch! It's from the new collection, mine is bright blue with white numbers. I'm so glad with this present because I really wanted one. Another great present was that my sister came all the way from Holland to Malaysia!! I haven't seen her in so long, I couldn't even remember her voice... But now I have seen her I feel refreshed and happy! I also got new pajama's, a mug, stroopwafels (those are typical Dutch waffles, yum!) , also a book that I am going to talk about later and lots more!

New Year is tonight! I can't wait to watch the beautiful fireworks being lit up in the sky! I haven't got fireworks myself, because we are going to watch the fireworks from a famous restaurant in KL. The restaurant is mostly famous for New Year, because from there you can get the perfect view. In Dutch, New Year is called 'Oud en Nieuw', the exact translation is 'old and niew'. Just a small fact to keep the reading going ;)

A small story of my days with my sister. So, she landed at about 4 pm at the airport, and then another 2 hours drive until she came the our house so she arrived here at about 6  pm. We had a great Christmas dinner that night and then later we opened the presents and watched TV. Few days later we went to a fabulous island called 'Pangkor'. That place is amazing, the ideal tropical island that you see in the movies. Yes, I am saying that some things in the movies are possible! The day before yesterday we arrived back here. And let me tell you, we were completely burnt! My sister kept saying she was 'on fire' =]. And then we come to today, me writing the blog and she is downstairs doing other stuff.

Now, the book I was talking about in paragraph 2. The book is called 'Boys are Dogs', by Leslie Margolis. I have just finished the book, and I must say it is a really good book. Let me tell you what it says on the back:

When Annabelle returns from summer camp, her life is totally different. She's moving to a new house with her mom's new boyfriend and than means starting sixth grade at a brand-new school. Birchwood Middle School is VERY different from her old all-girls elementary, the boys practically run wild in the hallways. And at home, Annabelle's new puppy is taking over the house and chewing on her clothes. But the puppy came with a training manual, so Annabelle might be able to get one thing under control. Unless... can you train a boy the way you train a dog?


On the front it also has a comment from Meg Cabot, the author of the Princess Diaries: "Fresh, fun, and full of heart." I totally agree with her, for my opinion this book is funny, and you can really relate to Annabelle. I really recommend this book to other girls. There is also a follow up, called 'Girls acting Catty'. I'm so exited to read this book because I know how fun the other one is. When I looked at the back of the book it says first: "Dogs can be trained, Cats are a whole different story..." This sentence makes me want to dive in the book and read it right away! I decided to write posts about every chapter of the book, what my thoughts are, am I exited? Am I bored? Is this chapter important to the story and in which ways? And I'll write it in details!


Thanks for reading my post and I hope you will read more!!

Amazing Editing Site!

Hey everyone!
Today, it's all about an Amazing Photo Editing Site! It's called Picnik.com. Here is an example of one of my photo's I have edited on Picnik.com :

Isn't it adorable? It's me and my cat, Miko. When he sits up in a surtain way, he seriously looks like the lion king! Haha :) That's why he got the crown!

So this is how it works: You go to picnik.com, when it has loaded, it should say (somewhere) 'upload photos'. Click on that and you will chose I photo that you would like to upload. You can crop it or auto fix it, and you can also make it another colour! When your done you press 'Create', here you can make it as nice as you want! Previously it was Halloween so maybe you still can make yourself a vampire or such. You can add stickers like I did of the smiley face and the tiara (crown, whatever), and you can add funny texts. When your done with that, you press 'save & share'. Surtain things you can't put on your photo or edit your photo with if your not premium. If your premium you can have a lot more, but I'm sticking to non-premium!

Another Fun thing about picnik.com is that when stuff is loading it says stuff like: coloring flowers..... painting sky..... stealing basket...... laying blanket.....
It's so cute! :D

I'm gonna stop now, cause I'm going to edit the puuurrrfect photo!! :)

Bye!

Don't Take Life Seriously, Nobody Gets out of it Alive!

Almost 4 months, but I always feel the same:

I WANT TO GO HOME!

'Huh?' You may say... Or maybe: 

Where's Home?

Where are you now?

What are you talking about?

And who are you?

Well, let me tell you, home is in the Netherlands, or for me: Holland. No way HOSEE I'm going to stick to saying the Netherlands instead of Holland.

Now I am in Malaysia (Truly Asia), It's a lovely country, but I rather stay in Holland. For you this is probably unclear (maybe not), but I can't bear the heat!

What I am talking about...hmm...let me think... Me!! Or, however, my Amazing Life Stories..!

And, Who I am? Megan Amelia Thompson. My small cosy life began in April, the Netherlands/Holland. Which turned into a huge problem going to Malaysia, and That turned out to be quite nice. I am Dutch, English and South African. My family is a long story, so I probably should skip that...

I will probably write more interesting blogs in the future! :)
